German Bionic Systems GmbH
German exoskeleton maker founded in 2016, producing the Cray X and Exia AI-powered wearable power suits for industrial workers in logistics and manufacturing.
German Bionic Systems GmbH, founded in 2016 and headquartered in Augsburg, Germany, develops and manufactures AI-powered wearable exoskeletons for industrial workers. The company's primary products are the Cray X, a fifth-generation active back-support exoskeleton providing up to 30 kg of assistance per lifting cycle, and the Exia, marketed as the first exoskeleton augmented by AI using real-world motion data. Both systems target logistics, manufacturing, and construction sectors to reduce musculoskeletal injuries.
German Bionic has raised approximately EUR 45 million in funding, including a Series A of EUR 15 million in December 2023 led by Mubea, and has received awards including the CES 2023 Best of Innovation. The company filed for insolvency in November 2025 following a failed funding round and was pursuing a strategic investor as of early 2026.
