Overview
- Ascentiz is publicly demonstrating its modular system at IFA Berlin with two joint modules for the platform: Ascentiz‑H for hip propulsion and Ascentiz‑K for adaptive knee support.
- The Exo‑Belt is the shared base that holds the battery, controller, and core algorithms and lets users attach or remove modules by hand using the AZ‑Lock quick‑release system.
- BodyOS, the unified control software that synchronizes multiple joint modules, was open‑sourced earlier in 2026 to allow outside researchers and developers to build on the platform.
- Ascentiz has begun sales of the hip module through its store priced at €1,599 for H Pro and €2,299 for H Ultra while knee-only and H+K combo prices are published but their ship dates have not yet been announced.
- A developer DevKit and firmware are on show at IFA and the company says full SDK and API access for BodyOS will arrive in mid‑November, a step that could speed new apps, accessories, and third‑party modules for users.
