Guardian XO Repair

Introduced by Sarcos Robotics in 2020, the Guardian XO is a full-body exoskeleton designed primarly for industrial usage. The system features 24 degrees of freedom, a highly responsive “get-out-of-the-way” control system that detects user movements within milliseconds, and safety-first design elements such as passive braking in the event of power loss. It is powered by hot-swappable Lithium-Ion batteries for near-continuous operation and can be donned or removed unassisted in under 30 seconds. Intended for industries such as manufacturing, construction, logistics, oil and gas, aerospace, and defense, the Guardian XO is positioned as a practical solution for addressing the “lift gap” in industrial environments by improving productivity while prioritizing worker safety.
