HeroWear, LLC

Spun off from Vanderbilt University in 2019, HeroWear has established itself as a pioneer in the occupational exoskeleton field, providing one of the most scientifically validated and widely used exoskeletons in the world. HeroWear’s Apex 2 is a back-assist exosuit worn by thousands of workers in physically demanding jobs, and is particularly well-suited for material handling and repetitive lifting jobs in warehouses and distribution centers. The Apex 2 contains no motors or batteries, rather the exosuit’s elastic bands function like an artificial set of back muscles that reduce strain and make lifting easier. This patented exosuit has a modular design, adjustable assistance levels, and multiple sizes to ensure comfortable fit and proper performance for women and men of varying size and shape. Beyond just the product, one of HeroWear’s keys to growing usage, high user acceptance, and sustained long-term adoption is its world-class client services team that provides fitting, training, guidance, and implementation support to companies of all sizes. HeroWear exosuits are being used in over 30 countries, including within multinational corporations and companies that are implementing or mandating exosuits as standard equipment.
