Overview

The FIT-HV Pro is a motorized lumbar exoskeleton from Shanghai's ULS Robotics, shown as part of the company's 2024 lineup at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference as the industrial sibling of the cheaper FIT-HV. It weighs 5.6 kg, takes up to 30 kg off each lift, and is aimed at short-haul heavy lifting and frequent bending in warehouses, factories and logistics. The standout for fleet buyers is connectivity, since the Pro sends data over 4G or Wi-Fi and exposes an open API for companies that want to build their own monitoring. ULS also makes the consumer Viatrix hip exoskeleton. Units are sold to companies by inquiry and through JD.com in China, with no public price for the Pro version.
