Ekso Bionics (NASDAQ:EKSO) is a leader in wearable robotics technology, specializing in powered exoskeletons designed to augment human strength, endurance and mobility. Founded in 2005 as Berkeley Bionics and rebranded in 2015, the company has pioneered a range of exoskeletal solutions that address both medical rehabilitation and industrial workforce support. Headquartered in Richmond, California, Ekso Bionics combines robotic engineering with clinical research to provide products that enhance patient outcomes and promote safer work environments.
The company operates two main business segments: Ekso Health and Ekso Works. Ekso Health offers a portfolio of FDA-cleared exoskeletons and neurorehabilitation devices, including models for gait training in patients recovering from stroke, spinal cord injury and other neurological impairments. Hospitals, rehabilitation centers and research institutions leverage these devices to accelerate functional recovery, improve patient engagement and collect objective performance data to guide therapy.
Under the Ekso Works banner, the company develops industrial-strength exoskeletons that reduce the risk of musculoskeletal injury and fatigue among workers engaged in repetitive or physically demanding tasks. These wearable systems are deployed in manufacturing, warehousing, construction and logistics settings, where they help lift heavy objects, maintain proper posture and increase overall productivity. Partnerships with global corporations and pilot programs in Europe, Asia and North America demonstrate the technology’s adaptability to diverse operational needs.
Over its history, Ekso Bionics has cultivated a multidisciplinary team of engineers, clinicians and researchers led by Chief Executive Officer Nathan J. Harding. The company maintains sales and service networks across major global markets, collaborating with academic institutions, healthcare providers and industrial partners to refine its products and expand adoption. With a focus on innovation and evidence-based outcomes, Ekso Bionics continues to advance the practical application of robotic exoskeletons.
