MATE-XT GO Exoskeleton Cuts Shoulder Strain 50%

Comau's Mate-XT Go passive wearable exoskeleton weighs under 6.6 lb and dons in 30 seconds for all-shift arm and shoulder support.

Overhead and repetitive arm tasks accumulate strain throughout a shift, contributing to fatigue, reduced precision, and long-term musculoskeletal wear. The MATE-XT GO is a passive wearable exoskeleton designed to support workers' arms and shoulders during these tasks, reducing shoulder muscle activity and perceived effort by up to 50% without restricting natural movement.

Weighing less than 6.6 lb (3 kg), the MATE-XT GO can be donned in 30 seconds and doffed in 10 seconds, allowing integration into daily workflows without interruption. Its fully passive design requires no power source, which minimizes maintenance demands and lowers lifecycle costs compared to powered alternatives. The exoskeleton provides 8 adjustable levels of assistance for both arms, with each level calibrated to follow the physiological movement of the shoulder joint.

Certified as Category II Personal Protective Equipment, the MATE-XT GO is cleared for use in regulated work environments. It is manufactured in Italy.
