Hypershell introduced the Halo, a full-leg exoskeleton designed to reduce physical strain for people who walk, hike, or navigate uneven ground. The device targets users who need assistance with movement, offering mechanical support that can lower muscle fatigue and heart rate during activity. Buyers interested in wearable assistance technology should note the specific performance metrics and the long delivery timeline.
Full-leg wearable targets mobility assistance with AI-driven motor control
The Halo operates using a four-motor HyperDrive Pro system that delivers up to 1,490 W of peak power. An AI algorithm named HyperIntuition 2.0 predicts user movement with a 0.2-second response time to adjust the motors accordingly. The company states the system includes a Shelly AI assistant, though it remains unclear if this feature functions without an internet connection.
Specifications
- Peak Power Output: 1,490 W
- Weight: 3.2 kg (7.05 lbs.)
- Battery Capacity: 72 Wh
- Range (Eco Mode): 20 km
- Charging Time: 1.5 hours
The unit weighs 3.2 kg and houses a 72 Wh battery that supports fast charging in 1.5 hours. In Eco Mode, the battery provides a rated range of up to 20 km of assisted walking. The exoskeleton folds down to take up 8 L of storage space and carries an IP54 rating for dust and water resistance.
Hypershell claims controlled tests show the Halo reduces muscle fatigue by up to 40% when standing from a sitting position. Laboratory bicycling tests indicated a 39% reduction in physical exertion and a 42% drop in heart rate. These figures represent the manufacturer's internal testing data rather than independent verification.
The Halo is available for pre-order at $2,299. Orders are scheduled to begin shipping in November 2027.
