VIGX π6 X

Overview

The π6 X is Kenqing's attempt to shrink a hip exoskeleton into something that folds to 27 × 9 × 9 cm and fits a jacket pocket. Instead of a motor at the hip joint, the drive units sit on the thighs and the waistband carries only the battery, so the wearer can sit, squat and turn without taking it off. The three models differ in torque, peak power, processor and sensing, with the X Pro adding a camera and a time-of-flight sensor so assistance changes before the foot lands on a step or slope. It was announced at CES in January 2026 with a commercial launch slated for June 2026, but as of October 2026 the store still only takes $10 deposits and gives no shipping date, so delivery timing is (unconfirmed). It sits below the VIGX π in weight and price and competes with the Dnsys X1 and the Hypershell X series.
