This wearable $2,000 AI exoskeleton wants to turn your legs into hybrid hardware
The Hypershell X Ultra S is a $2,000 AI exoskeleton designed for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts, providing motorized leg assistance through dual hip-mounted motors and adaptive software. The system uses a control system called HyperIntuition, which reads a person's movement and adjusts motor output in real time, adding force to each step and reducing fatigue. The technology has potential applications beyond recreational hiking, but its current implementation feels early and demands attention and willingness to adapt from the user.
