About Auxivo
Auxivo AG is a developer and manufacturer of wearable exoskeletons based in Zurich. The company was founded in 2019 as a spin-off of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zurich and builds on many years of exoskeleton research at the Sensory-Motor Systems Lab. Auxivo develops industrial and occupational exoskeletons such as the textile LiftSuit system, the DeltaSuit and the multifunctional full-body exoskeleton OmniSuit, which supports lifting and overhead work. The products reduce physical strain, fatigue and the risk of injury during physically demanding tasks in industry, manufacturing, logistics and horticulture. In addition to its industrial products, Auxivo offers the EduExo Pro as a learning platform for students, teachers, engineers and researchers, used in rapid prototyping with 3D printing, laser cutting, CAD modeling as well as electronics and software integration (EMG sensors, servo motors, control engineering). The value chain includes design, engineering, prototyping, electronics integration, software development and assembly.
