The first pilot project in Ukraine for the practical application of Hypershell exoskeletons has officially launched. This wearable robotics technology enhances human capability directly during physically demanding tasks and enables a transition toward measurable operational results.
The official distributor of Hypershell in Ukraine is Robotics Distribution — one of the TOP-10 IT distributors in Ukraine and part of the DroneUA group of companies. The company ensures local availability of the technology, expertise in integrating solutions into specific operational scenarios, and support for large-scale deployments across the country. In addition, the launch of an authorized Hypershell store in Ukraine is expected soon — providing an official channel for access to the full product lineup, consultations, and service support in the local market.
As part of the pilot with Nova Poshta, four exoskeleton models are being tested in real warehouse operations: Hypershell X GO, Hypershell X PRO, Hypershell X CARBON, and Hypershell X ULTRA. The technology is focused on supporting human performance in repetitive scenarios where productivity depends on endurance and stable pace — squatting, lifting, walking, turning, and thousands of short cycles per shift.
“Hypershell can provide a more stable pace, reduced fatigue, and more predictable endurance. An assessment of the potential effect for warehouse logistics demonstrates the scale of this technology within operational cycles. According to our internal calculation model, if the average warehouse operator walks approximately 15 km per shift, and the exoskeleton compensates for about 5.85 km of physical load, then for roughly 25,000 warehouse logistics employees this is equivalent to approximately 146,250 km of ‘compensated’ distance per day. Within the pilot, the company operates with projected performance benchmarks of up to 39% compensation of physical effort and up to 42% reduction in heart rate during exertion,” noted Valeriy Yakovenko, Co-founder and Managing Partner of DroneUA.
The pilot marks Ukraine’s transition toward the applied use of exoskeleton technology in industrial processes beyond logistics. These are industries where physical strain is systemic and where results depend not only on automation and software, but also on the capacity and resilience of teams.
Through its distribution arm Robotics Distribution, DroneUA is the first to introduce wearable robotics as a productivity category in Ukraine — technology designed to support human resources in high-intensity physical environments. The initial market development plan targets up to 200,000 potential users, extending beyond logistics. Hypershell exoskeleton technology is expected to expand into industry, energy, healthcare, and rehabilitation — wherever stable human performance, quality, safety, and operational outcomes are critical.
