IFA 2026: robots, AI and new forms of movement. Twelve gadgets you wouldn’t expect
Hypershell Halo, the exoskeleton that gives your legs the power of four motors
Designed for outdoor mobility on any terrain, it is, according to the Chinese company, the industry’s first ‘full-leg’ system to coordinate four motorised hip and knee joints. The heart and brain of the exoskeleton is HyperIntuition 2.0, which interprets movement, surface and load thanks to over 30 sensors, adjusting the assistance up to 2,500 times per second to follow the user’s intentions without the need to select different modes. According to the technical specifications, the four HyperDrive Pro motors deliver up to 1,490 watts and enable an assisted speed of up to 17 km/h. The kit weighs 2.6 kg, features a removable 370-gram battery and promises a range of up to 20 km. To interact with Halo, there is Shelly, an AI voice assistant that guides you through the setup and customisation stages. The Origin Edition costs €2,299 and will go on sale in November. (G.Rus)
