Description
The Guardian XO is a battery-powered, full-body industrial exoskeleton developed by Sarcos Robotics. It enables operators to lift and manipulate loads up to 90 kg (200 lbs) repeatedly without fatigue, with hot-swappable batteries supporting up to 8 hours of continuous operation. Developed over 20+ years with origins in a 2001 DARPA grant, the Guardian XO saw only two units shipped by late 2023 before Sarcos pivoted to AI software and wound down hardware operations.
