German Bionic

German Bionic is a robotics firm that develops and manufactures smart power suits and wearable technologies for industrial and healthcare applications. Its flagship product is the Cray X exoskeleton, launched in January 2022, which provides support of up to 66 lbs (30 kg) for lifting and carrying movements while preventing poor posture through an AI-powered ergonomic monitoring system. In August 2023, the company unveiled Apogee+, an exoskeleton designed specifically for the healthcare sector to assist caregivers in patient lifting and mobility tasks. Both the Cray X and Apogee+ are the world's first fully-connected, AI-based robotic wearables for the workplace. The company's exoskeletons aim to protect workers' health, reduce accidents and injuries, and improve work processes through real-time ergonomic data collection and analysis.

In December 2023, German Bionic raised EUR 15 million in an extended Series A funding round led by German automotive supplier Mubea to meet increasing demand and scale up production. The company reported significant revenue growth, with major customers across logistics firms like DPD, Dachser, Fiege, retailers like Canadian Tire, Currys, and international airports as of December 2023. German Bionic was awarded the CES 2023 "Best of Innovation" Award in the Wearable Technologies category for the Cray X exoskeleton.
