Vastnaut exoskeleton prototype testing
A Structural Innovation in Consumer ExoskeletonVastnaut proudly introduces the 4×4 Structure™, a breakthrough design featuring four powered joints and four high-performance motors. This system delivers powerful assistance and comprehensive multi-joint support, mirroring human biomechanics to dynamically distribute power across the hips and knees.
Multi-Joint Power Coordination Across TerrainWhether navigating steep climbs, technical descents, or unpredictable terrain, the exoskeleton adapts instantly. This is made possible by Vastnaut’s ATD™ (Adaptive Torque Distribution) technology, which, for the first time in a consumer exoskeleton, achieves true multi-joint coordination. Every step remains powerful, stable, and consistent, enabling explorers to move confidently through any environment.
End-to-End AI Motion FrameworkThe hardware is driven by the VastSynergy™ AI Engine, utilizing a transformative end-to-end AI motion framework. The system maps individualized biological joint moments to adaptive torque assistance, creating the most intuitive solution in consumer robotics. This synergy allows the exoskeleton to function as a seamless extension of the body, providing precise power matched to the user’s unique movement patterns.
Beta Test Program: Prototype Trials in Early 2026The launch of the Beta Test Program marks Vastnaut’s entry into real-world prototype trials, with selected innovators providing critical input to inform final development ahead of commercial release. Prospective participants can find program details on the official Vastnaut website: www.vastnaut.com
