LAS VEGAS, Jan. 7, 2026 — ULS Robotics, a top developer and solution provider of exoskeleton robots, has long been a pioneer in delivering end-to-end exoskeleton solutions for a wide array of industrial applications. At the 2026 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2026) in Las Vegas, the firm unveiled its inaugural consumer-focused exoskeleton robot—the VIATRIX extended-range powered exoskeleton—which claimed the CES Innovation Awards® immediately upon its launch.

Equipped with the innovative Float360 floating hip joint mechanism, plus in-house developed automotive-grade motors and an AI gait learning system, VIATRIX—whose name derives from Latin meaning “traveler”—is designed to offer outdoor enthusiasts an intelligent power-assisted experience. Its stylish design adapts to various terrains, empowering users to push past limits and explore new frontiers on their journeys.

“The launch of VIATRIX signals ULS Robotics’ formal entry into the consumer market, building on our leadership in industrial-grade exoskeletons. We’ve transformed 20 years of technological expertise and 7 years of industrial application validation into a truly intelligent device tailored for outdoor living,” stated Xu Zhenhua, founder and CEO of ULS Robotics.

VIATRIX showcases several innovations that are redefining the exoskeleton landscape:

• The Float360 floating hip joint mechanism is an industry-first innovation, enabling seamless execution of wide-range movements like splits and deep squats.
• The proprietary automotive-grade servo motor ensures exceptional stability while delivering robust power with high efficiency.
• The large-capacity battery supports up to 25km of operation and performs reliably in extreme environments ranging from -20°C to 65°C.
• The AI adaptive learning system can learn user gait patterns to provide personalized assistance.

Regarded as a “bellwether” in the global consumer electronics sector, the CES Innovation Awards®—presented by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA)—honor exceptional design and engineering in consumer tech that address global challenges and drive meaningful change. As this year’s CES Innovation Award-winning exoskeleton product, VIATRIX not only validates its cutting-edge technology and practical utility but also highlights the brand’s pioneering shift from industrial exoskeleton leader to consumer market innovator.

ULS Robotics holds significant advantages in the industrial-grade segment, with five generations of product iterations. Its lineup now covers upper limb, waist, lower limb, and full-body exoskeletons, deployed across over 30 industries including automotive manufacturing, logistics, emergency response, and construction.

The brand’s extensive product portfolio features models such as the FIT-HV PRO active electric waist exoskeleton, FIT-U PRO upper limb exoskeleton, PES-B passive elastic back suit, and PES-U mechanical energy-storing exoskeleton. With widely recognized technological capabilities, several flagship products have been used in projects like the filming of “The Wandering Earth II” and the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games and Asian Para Games.

This marks ULS Robotics’ third appearance at CES; in 2025, all its exhibits sold out during the trade show. Visitors are invited to visit ULS Robotics at CES 2026 (booth 8929) to experience VIATRIX and enjoy fun activities.
