WIRED • • technology
Key Points:
- Personal exoskeletons, wearable devices enhancing human movement and strength, were prominently featured at CES 2026, with newcomers and established brands like Hypershell and Dnsys showcasing their latest models.
- Both Hypershell X Ultra ($1,999) and Dnsys X1 Carbon Pro ($1,899) are consumer-available exoskeletons designed to reduce physical exertion, with claims of lowered heart rates and increased endurance, though individual benefits vary based on fitness and health.
- Testing revealed that while both devices assist in walking, running, and stair climbing, the Hypershell X Ultra offers smoother, quieter operation and a more natural stride pattern compared to the noisier and jerkier Dnsys X1 Carbon
