Hypershell opens orders for a full-leg exoskeleton

Hypershell unveiled the Halo at IFA 2026 in Berlin on 3 September 2026, and opened pre-orders the same day. The device powers four joints — two at the hips, two at the knees — in a 2.6 kg frame of aerospace-grade carbon fibre and titanium, with a peak output of 1,490 W and a range of up to 20 km per charge. Folded, it takes under eight litres.

Consumer exoskeletons have so far assisted the hip alone, which helps on a climb and does little on a descent, where the knee absorbs the load. Powering both joints as one system is the change the company is selling. Its motion control, which Hypershell calls HyperIntuition 2.0, uses a mixture-of-experts neural network that adjusts 2,500 times a second and predicts movement roughly 200 milliseconds ahead.

The first 200 units ship as an “Origin Edition” at $2,299, EUR 2,299 or GBP 2,199. Official sales and phased deliveries begin in November 2026 across the United States, Canada, Europe, the United Kingdom and China.

Pre-orders are not shipments, and the claims above are the manufacturer’s. What is dated and checkable is that a full-leg powered exoskeleton is now on sale to the public at a consumer-electronics price.
