This wearable $2,000 AI exoskeleton wants to turn your legs into hybrid hardware

Hypershell launched the $2,000 X Ultra S, an AI-powered wearable exoskeleton designed to assist leg movement for hiking and outdoor use.

The device uses dual hip-mounted motors and real-time sensing to add force to each step, easing effort especially on climbs.

It still depends on app-based tuning and manual control, with limited support for downhill travel, uneven terrain, and safety-critical situations.

Battery life and other practical constraints remain significant, even as the product points to broader uses in recreation, rescue, and mobility tech.
