MATE-XT

According to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 650,000 cases of musculoskeletal workplace injuries have cost employers over 20 billion USD in total expenses.
To address this challenge, COMAU, a leading robotics company, has joined forces with ÖSSUR, a pioneer in bionic prosthetics, and IUVO, a developer of wearable robotic systems, to create the MATE wearable exoskeleton.

The MATE system utilizes a Torque Generating Box (TGB) that stores and transforms potential mechanical energy, redistributing much of the arm’s workload to the pelvis through its ergonomic structure. This innovative design has been proven to:

  • Increase static endurance by 56%

  • Enhance task quality and precision by 27%

  • Improve overall performance speed by 10%

  • Reduce muscular exertion by 30%

(All data verified by FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES and Congregazione delle Suore Infermiere dell’Addolorata Ospedale Valduce.)

The MATE-XB exoskeleton was tested at the large retail trading company Esselunga Group and is well-suited for applications requiring operators to bend over.

Italian logistics company Temi Spa has chosen to test Comau's innovative MATE-XT upper limb exoskeleton in order to improve the ergonomics and quality of work for its porters.
The MATE-XT exoskeleton is used in the Pintarelli Verniciatura painting application, where the operator performs repetitive manual movements involving the continuous use of the upper limbs and shoulders.

Textile company Ghezzi has equipped its workers with Comau's MATE-XT wearable exoskeleton. This new technology makes loading and unloading yarn on machines much easier.
