Agade and AGADEXO Shoulder
The company Agade is a spin-off of the Politecnico di Milano, founded in 2020 out of a research project focused on the development of innovative wearable robotic devices. The mission has always been clear: to empower and preserve human capital and experience, enabling sustainable workplaces, and improving occupational safety through robotics. To accomplish that, Agade has developed AGADEXO Shoulder.
The exoskeleton is based on a patented hybrid motion technology, which is designed to provide a high level of muscular assistance, while reducing power consumption to improve weight. The ergonomic design allows a fast and easy set-up of the device, without the need for special clothes or equipment. This avoids interruptions during work shifts and ensures the best human-machine interaction.
The exoskeleton fulfills the needs of manual material handling and picking tasks in different use-case scenarios. Thanks to a fusion system of embedded sensors and the implementation of Machine Learning algorithms, the AGADEXO Shoulder detects when the operator is carrying out manual picking operations which require support. It then automatically adjusts the assistance provided to the user, reducing muscular fatigue and disorders.
When the user is not performing picking tasks, AGADEXO goes into an idle mode, allowing the operator maximum freedom of movement. As a result, users can keep wearing AGADEXO as they wish without hindering their work.
