On display at CES® 2026 in Las Vegas
- Dnsys Z1: A lightweight, AI-powered knee exoskeleton designed to reduce joint strain and muscle fatigue. As the world's lightest exoskeleton and the first dedicated to knee support, it provides up to 900W of powered assistance and adapts in real time to movement. It boosts leg strength by up to 50 percent, offloads up to 150 kilograms of weight, and offers 20 kilograms of lifting support. The Z1 is suited for both demanding tasks and all-day use.
- Dnsys Z1 Exoskeleton Pro - DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH Limited Edition: Developed in collaboration with Kojima Productions and inspired by Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, this limited-edition model retains the Z1's full technical capabilities while adding a co-branded aesthetic with custom lighting and in-game styling. The military-industrial design, co-branded logos, and ergonomic build merge digital visuals with physical functionality. The result is an exosuit that feels at home in both the game world and real life.
- Dnsys X1 series: An ultralight hip exoskeleton built for endurance during long periods of walking, climbing, or outdoor activity. Using adaptive AI, it provides torque assistance or resistance in real time to reduce fatigue or enable strength training. It is available in three models: Lite, Carbon, and Carbon Pro, supporting everything from casual movement to high-performance trekking. Foldable and under four pounds, the X1 delivers up to 20 kilometers of mobility support per charge.
"Our mission is to demonstrate how robotics can augment human mobility in both everyday and demanding environments," said Sage Dong, CEO of Dnsys. "CES presents an ideal opportunity to show how our exoskeletons perform in a high-mobility context, where fatigue and endurance matter."
The CES Innovation Awards® class of 2026 honorees, including product descriptions and photos, can be found at CES.tech/innovation. More will be revealed in January ahead of CES® 2026 – where innovators show up. During the show, don't miss the CES Innovation Awards® Showcase on-site at the Venetian Expo to view some of the winning products.
