Overview

Ascentiz is the consumer brand of Hangzhou RoboCT, the company behind the UGO 210 clinical exoskeleton, and its pitch is a belt-based platform where a hip module (H) or a knee module (K) clips on depending on the day's activity. The H Pro uses a carbon-reinforced polymer and aluminium frame while the H Ultra moves to carbon fibre and titanium with more torque, a faster processor, a second battery and the BOOST mode, both running under 35 dB with IP54 sealing and a -20 to 60°C operating range. The Kickstarter campaign in autumn 2025 raised about HK$20.6M from 2,301 backers, the most funded exoskeleton campaign at the time, and first units shipped in early 2026 after a December estimate, with some backers reporting late or incomplete deliveries (unconfirmed). The K knee module and the H+K combo are still listed as pending, so today only the hip units are sold. The maker states it is not a medical device. It ships from stock to the US, Canada, Mexico and the EU and is also carried by B&H, which puts it against the Hypershell X series and the Dnsys X1 on price.
