  • New range includes flagship X Ultra S, X Max S and X Pro S, giving users different levels of support, range and terrain capability
  • Powered by HyperIntuition™, Hypershell's self-developed AI-driven motion control algorithm, the new series is the world's first TÜV Rheinland-verified end-to-end AI exoskeleton
  • HyperLIFT field test program will explore how Hypershell technology can support search and rescue teams in real-world operations
  • HONG KONG, May 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hypershell, the world's leading consumer exoskeleton brand, today launched the New Hypershell X Series, introducing the world's most intuitive exoskeleton and its latest lineup of AI-powered exoskeletons, now available for sale.

    Powered by HyperIntuition™, Hypershell's AI-driven motion control algorithm, the New Hypershell X Series is designed to deliver support that feels more natural, immediate and closely aligned with the wearer. As the world's first TÜV Rheinland-verified end-to-end AI exoskeleton, the range brings together intelligent motion control, an upgraded wearing system and a new-generation motor to deliver fully synchronized, fast assistance.

    The range includes Hypershell X Ultra S, Hypershell X Max S and Hypershell X Pro S, offering different levels of support, range and terrain capability for hikers, outdoor enthusiasts, active older users and professionals who spend long periods on foot.

    To extend testing beyond the product lab, Hypershell is introducing HyperLIFT, its Lifesaving Innovation Field Test program exploring how wearable exoskeletons can help reduce fatigue, improve operational safety, and support search and rescue teams in demanding real-world operations. This year, Hypershell intends to support more than 50 SAR organizations by providing exoskeletons for field testing, feedback, and case study development, with plans to expand the initiative to additional teams in the future.

    "With the launch of the New Hypershell X Series and HyperIntuition™, Hypershell takes exoskeleton beyond traditional rule-based modelling into a new era of end-to-end motion control technology", said Kelvin Sun, Founder of Hypershell, "Since day one, we've focused on deep integration between AI and hardware. Our goal is to create exoskeletons that respond more naturally to human movement and work more seamlessly with the body. HyperLIFT reflects that vision in the real world, supporting rescue teams operating in some of the most physically and mentally demanding environments, helping them go farther with less effort."

    Hypershell technology is also being deployed during a Mount Everest expedition. Record-breaking mountaineer Adrianna Brownlee, the youngest woman to summit all 14 of the world's 8,000-meter peaks, and Gelje Sherpa, the youngest person to summit K2 in winter, and their joint venture, AGA Adventures, are using Hypershell technology during the climb.

    HyperIntuition: support that moves with you

    HyperIntuition™ marks Hypershell's shift from traditional rule-based motion modelling to end-to-end AI motion control, unifying perception, recognition, prediction, and planning into one continuous system.

    Developed to address the limitations of conventional ruled-based control in unpredictable real-world scenarios, HyperIntuition™ enables the exoskeleton to adapt more naturally in complex movement — delivering support that feels more synchronized and intuitive in dynamic outdoor environments.

    According to Hypershell's TÜV Rheinland-verified materials, the New Hypershell X Series achieves 97.5% gait synchronization across varied terrains and responds within 0.31 seconds, 64.5% faster than the previous generation, making it the world's first consumer exoskeleton to undergo verification based on Human Factors Engineering.

    Looking ahead, Hypershell plans to introduce AI Agent capabilities through a future firmware update. Designed to evolve with expanding skills and functions over time, the AI Agent will initially act as an intelligent coach, helping users better understand their movement, optimize exoskeleton settings, and personalize support across different activities and environments.
