TSUKUBA, Japan, Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Orbbec presented its Robot-Free Data Collection Hardware Platform for Physical AI in Japan for the first time at ROSCon JP 2026, marking the platform's official debut in the Japanese market.
Leveraging its robotics vision expertise and product breadth, Orbbec is among the few data collection platform providers combining multi-sensor fusion, calibration and synchronization, a full-stack vision portfolio, and global mass-production and delivery capabilities.
Covering Key Data Collection Needs
Built around EGO, UMI, and WristCam, the platform supports first-person observation, detailed hand-object interaction, and wrist-level near-field data collection. It can be configured by task type, collector scale, and sensor combination.
At ROSCon JP, Orbbec demonstrated live output from its Dual-Ego prototype, featuring dual 2-megapixel fisheye cameras. With synchronization accuracy within 1 ms, a six-axis IMU operating at up to 1,000 Hz and a lightweight 200 g design, Dual-Ego captures aligned visual and motion data for mobile, first-person collection.
In addition, another core product series within the platform, EGO RGB-D series combines chip-level native depth output with LingBot-Depth enhancement to improve depth completeness for transparent, reflective, and other challenging objects.
Consistency at the Core
Orbbec supports high-quality data collection at scale through four capabilities:
- High-precision multimodal calibration for spatial consistency: Accurate 3D alignment across RGB, depth, IMU, and other sensors.
- Hardware-level multi-device synchronized triggering for temporal consistency: Microsecond-level clock synchronization and frame-level alignment.
- Scaled manufacturing and global delivery for product consistency: Million-unit production experience, digital quality management, and manufacturing capacity in China and Vietnam.
- Deep technology depth and product breadth for flexible scenario customization: A full-stack matrix spanning RGB, structured light, stereo vision, ToF, and LiDAR.
Orbbec has already established strong partnerships with leading Japanese companies. Its 3D vision technologies support Hitachi's CO-URIBA "hands-free shopping" retail solution and an autonomous hospital logistics robot developed by one of Japan's top three automakers.
"Japan has an advanced robotics industry and high standards for data quality and deployment," said Felix Zheng, Managing Director, APAC Region at Orbbec. "We look forward to helping more customers scale real-world data collection efficiently."

Orbbec's Robot-Free Data Collection Hardware Platform Makes Japan Debut at ROSCon JP 2026
NEW YORK, Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Ascentiz, a pioneer in consumer wearable exoskeleton technology and creator of the world's first modular exoskeleton, today announced the commercial availability of the Ascentiz H Series. The H Pro and H Ultra are now available for direct purchase through the Ascentiz online store, bringing the company's modular mobility platform from early adoption and real-world testing into broader everyday use.
Designed for walking, hiking, running, cycling, stair climbing, and urban exploration, the H Series delivers responsive assistance at the hips while staying compact enough for travel and daily wear. Rather than replacing the wearer's natural movement, the system syncs with gait and movement intent, assisting key phases of each step, such as lifting the leg forward and pushing off from the ground.
Built for an Evolving Modular Ecosystem
Ascentiz built its system around one shared Exo-Belt with interchangeable assistance modules. The H module handles hip propulsion and responsive movement assistance; the K module, in mass production, is designed for sustained knee support and impact management on descents.
Through BodyOS™, Ascentiz plans to support additional hardware modules, software functions, and developer-built applications over time. The H Ultra includes an expanded open-source SDK, letting developers and third parties build customised functions and new applications through the platform's software tools and hardware interfaces.
Adaptive Motion Intelligence That Moves With the Wearer
The H Series is available in two configurations.
H Pro is designed for everyday mobility, fitness and lighter outdoor activities, offering a balance of portability, intelligent assistance and up to 25 kilometers of assisted range.
H Ultra is built for longer, more demanding journeys. Carbon fibre and a titanium-alloy Exo-Belt give it a premium, durable build, and a dual-battery system extends assisted range to 50 kilometres. It also offers greater power output and expanded motion recognition.
Both models feature a compact, lightweight design, quiet operation, and IP54 protection, making the system suitable across a range of everyday and outdoor environments.
Ascentiz aims to make wearable robotics practical for real-world use, with technology that feels like a natural extension of the body. The company's mission is to help people move with less effort while staying in full control, so they can go farther and explore more of everyday life and the outdoors.
Pricing and Availability
The Ascentiz H Pro has an MSRP of $1,499, while the Ascentiz H Ultra has an MSRP of $1,999. Product pricing, promotions and availability may vary by market and purchasing period. Customers can view model comparisons, sizing information and purchasing details at ascentizexo.com.
The Ascentiz H Series is designed to reduce effort and support natural movement, cutting the work of walking by up to 35% so wearers can move freely for longer. It is not a medical device and is not intended for clinical diagnosis or treatment.
Ascentiz will also showcase the commercially available H Series at IFA Berlin 2026, beginning September 4, with hands-on demonstrations at Hall 12, Booth 109. Visitors can try the H Series, preview the upcoming K module, and see developer demonstrations of customised applications and new use cases built on the Ascentiz platform.
About Ascentiz
Founded in 2023, Ascentiz is dedicated to transforming advanced robotics into accessible, user-centric exoskeleton technology. Our mission is to empower individuals to climb higher, go further, and unlock new physical potentials in their everyday lives and adventures. We believe in augmentation without complexity, creating lightweight, intuitive interfaces that seamlessly integrate into any lifestyle.
