Comau is expanding its portfolio of wearable robots with the Mate-XT Go exoskeleton, offering improved ergonomics to support employees in demanding environments.

Weighing less than 6.6 lb and easy to handle, it can be put on in 30 seconds and taken off again in just 10 seconds, making it easy to integrate into everyday working life without interrupting workflows.

Certified as category II personal protective equipment and therefore suitable for regulated working environments, Mate-XT Go reduces muscle strain and the subjective feeling of fatigue by up to 50 percent and improves comfort, endurance and posture throughout the working day without restricting natural movements. Designed for sectors such as industry, logistics, construction, agriculture and trade, the system makes work safer and more efficient and can contribute to improving working conditions in large companies as well as in SMEs and craft businesses.

Lightweight Construction And Economy

Building on the Mate range, Mate-XT Go offers increased support and reduced weight, while maintaining natural movement and comfort throughout the working day. The reduced overall weight and increased comfort during prolonged use enabled integration into existing workflows without disrupting established processes.

Thanks to its completely passive design, the system requires minimal maintenance and has lower life cycle costs, according to the company. This makes Mate-XT Go suitable for use in companies of different sizes.

Cooperation And Technological Basis

The exoskeleton was developed in collaboration with Iuvo, a former spin-off of the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna, in which Comau holds a majority stake. Mate-XT Go thus combines expertise in industrial automation with know-how in wearable technology and human biomechanics.

"This success is an important step in our vision of human-centered automation," said Marco Manavello, Chief Industrials Operations Officer. Based on the experience of more than 3,000 companies using Mate exoskeletons internationally and by analyzing the requirements of employees and employers, the technology has been further developed to achieve measurable benefits in everyday working life.

Mate-XT Go combines a lighter design with professional certification and proven performance. The solution can reduce the subjective feeling of fatigue by up to 50 percent, support employees in physically demanding tasks and help companies to systematically improve ergonomics. The system is also more economically accessible and easier for SMEs to implement and maintain, opening up additional fields of application in manufacturing, construction, logistics, agriculture and the skilled trades.

Technical Features

Mate-XT Go offers eight levels of support for both arms, which adapt to the physiological movements of the shoulder. This results in a measurable ergonomic effect with reduced strain and improved posture.
