Exoskeleton for heavy work: Exploring Comau’s MATE Series
Intro
Comau offers the MATE series of exoskeletons, designed to enhance ergonomics and reduce physical strain during repetitive or demanding tasks. Il primo della serie è il MATE-XT, that is a mechanically powered exoskeleton for heavy work, that supports the shoulders during overhead activities. This ivolved into the MATE-XT 4.0, that integrates advanced sensors and IoT connectivity for data insights. Instead the MATE-XB focuses on reducing lumbar strain during weight lifting. These exoskeletons aim to improve posture, reduce muscle fatigue, and enhance productivity in physically demanding roles.

Mate XT
is a passive, mechanically powered exoskeleton for heavy work designed to reduce shoulder strain during repetitive overhead tasks. It provides consistent torque assistance without the need for batteries or electrical power. The lightweight, breathable design ensures maximum comfort, even in challenging outdoor environments, making it ideal for applications such as construction, agriculture, and industrial tasks. Its primary purpose is to enhance posture and alleviate muscle fatigue by supporting the user’s shoulder movements, ensuring greater productivity with less physical strain.
MATE-XT 4.0
The MATE-XT 4.0 builds on the features of the MATE-XT by incorporating advanced sensors and IoT capabilities. This version gathers real-time data on usage patterns, providing valuable insights for optimizing ergonomics and improving overall efficiency in the workplace. The sensors monitor the wearer’s activity, enabling data-driven decisions to reduce fatigue and boost performance. With this enhanced connectivity, MATE-XT 4.0 is particularly suitable for environments that require close monitoring of physical workloads, such as logistics and industrial manufacturing.
MATE-XB
The MATE-XB focuses specifically on reducing lumbar strain during activities involving lifting or carrying heavy loads. By providing targeted support to the lower back, it helps maintain proper posture and decreases the risk of injury associated with frequent bending or lifting. This exoskeleton is ideal for industries such as warehousing, construction, agronomy and logistics, where workers are often required to lift heavy objects. Its ergonomic design helps reduce pressure on the lumbar spine, ultimately contributing to a safer and healthier work environment.
