#InsideAuxivo: Meet Silvia Rohner

When Silvia talks about her work, you can immediately tell: she’s driven by more than technology. For her, innovation only makes sense when it improves people’s lives.

The History of Exoskeletons: From early prototypes to modern industrial exosuits

Exoskeletons may sound like futuristic inventions, but their story goes back several decares. What started das experimental robotics projects in research labs has evolved into wearable systems that support people in healthcare, logistics, and industry today.

How Exoskeletons Support the Back and Reduce Strain

Back pain is one of the most common work-related health issues worldwide. Whether in logistics, construction, healthcare, or manufacturing, tasks that involve frequent bending, lifting, or leaning forward put enormous strain on the back muscles and spine. Over time, this strain can lead to fatigue, musculoskeletal disorders, and long-term injuries.

Beyond the First Lift: How Exoskeleton Training Unlocks the Full Potential

This is an interesting one: Auxivo’s R&D team began noticing something curious — experienced users of our exoskeletons often showed significantly higher support levels than first-time users. Was this just a result of better fitting? Or was something deeper at play? In this post, we share how we turned this observation into a structured scientific investigation.

Testing the LiftSuit in the Field: How Auxivo Validates Real-World Support

Exoskeleton performance is typically assessed through standardized tasks, such as lifting a fixed weight, while collecting biomechanical data like muscle activity or heart rate. These lab-based evaluations help benchmark how much strain the exoskeleton can reduce. However, such controlled settings only tell part of the story. There’s always a degree of uncertainty about how much support users will actually experience in their daily work.

European research shows that the LiftSuit reduces muscle fatigue

Standardized measurements at the European exoskeleton benchmarking facility “EUROBENCH” showed that wearing the LiftSuit reduces muscle load and muscle fatigue in back and hip muscles. Auxivo has, since its incorporation, been committed to developing the best possible product for our customers. Rigorously testing and evaluating our exoskeletons is an integral part of this process. Openly sharing the results of these tests helped to communicate what our products can offer tran
