Comau expands wearable robotics portfolio with MATE-XT GO exoskeleton

Comau has introduced MATE-XT GO, a new wearable exoskeleton designed to support workers’ arms and shoulders during repetitive or overhead tasks.

The company said that MATE-XT GO weighs less than 3 kg and is easy to use; it can be put on in 30 seconds and taken off in 10 seconds, allowing for easy integration into daily activities without interrupting workflows.

Improved ergonomics without movement restrictions

Comau said that the MATE-XT GO reduces muscle and perceived effort by up to 50%, improving comfort, endurance and posture throughout the workday without restricting natural movements. Designed for sectors such as logistics, construction, agriculture and skilled trades, Comau said it makes work safer and more efficient by benefiting not only large enterprises, but also small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and artisans, helping improve the quality of life for workers.

“This achievement marks an important step forward in our vision of human-centric automation,” said Marco Manavello, chief industrial operations officer, Comau. “Building on the real-world experience of more than 3,000 companies already using MATE exoskeletons at an international level, and by listening closely to the needs of both workers and employers, we have further evolved the technology to deliver measurable, everyday benefits. MATE-XT GO combines a lighter design with professional certification and proven performance. The result is a wearable solution that can reduce perceived fatigue by up to 50%, support workers during physically demanding tasks and help companies systematically improve ergonomics at scale.”

Comau highlighted the potential benefits of MATE-XT GO:

• Calculable results based on measurable ergonomic improvement
• Reduces shoulder muscle activity and the perceived effort felt by workers
• Facilitates increased precision, quality and performance with workers reporting beneficial upgrades of job quality
• Helps improve quality of life at work
