CHAPTER 1:
INTRODUCTION
EVO is an upper body exoskeleton that alleviates the burden of repetitive work on the shoulders, which is the most
common cause of lost workdays due to workplace injuries. Based on collaboration and insights from Ekso’s global
install base and experience with its ground-breaking EksoVest technology, EVO is designed to improve the user
experience and drive adoption.
Stacked link structure.
EVO’s patented stacked-link structure seamlessly follows the user’s arm through the full
range of motion while providing proper joint alignment. Extreme positions like reaching directly overhead, across the
body, or even into a back pocket for a phone are unrestricted.
Independent load path.
Completely decoupled left and right shoulder support structures allow full flexibility of the
user’s torso and waist, such that twisting and bending to the site feel completely natural. The user’s back is also
completely free of structure, allowing unrestricted airflow and leaving plenty of room for a fall harness.
Minimized body contact.
EVO is designed to only contact the user’s body where it is absolutely essential, while still
staying firmly in place during use. The result is more comfortable and cooler to wear than even a backpack, especially
in hot environments.
Adjustable high force actuator.
EVO’s actuators are proven to be extremely durable with millions of cycles of testing
and field data. The assistance level can be adjusted for the user and task by easily swapping out the set of compact
gas springs. Different levels can even be selected for each arm if appropriate for the task.
Light weight, no compromises.
Light weight can be achieved without sacrificing functionality. EVO strikes the
optimal balance between device weight, functionality, assistance levels, and durability.
Compact storage.
With the included durable, 26” tool bag-style carrying case, EVO stores, ships and transports to
and around the job site easily and conveniently. Interior storage bag pockets provide ample storage of accessories
and other tools.
