The initiative launches KULR AI & Robotics to develop cost-effective robotic solutions for U.S. workforce support and reshoring.
KULR Technology Group, Inc. announced the launch of a new strategic partnership with German Bionic, a global robotics company known for its robotic exoskeleton, Apogee ULTRA, to expand into the rapidly growing fields of robotics and artificial intelligence. GB counts global logistics companies, large retailers, hospitals, and major international airports among its customers, including Dachser Intelligent Logistics, GXO, Nuremberg Airport, Canadian Tire, the British consumer electronics retailer Currys, and the Charité Hospital Berlin. According to Spherical Insights, the global wearable robotic exoskeleton market size is expected to reach $41.5 billion by 2033.
The initiative includes the formation of a dedicated business unit, KULR AI & Robotics, aimed at driving innovation and commercialization of affordable and mature robotic solutions to support the US workforce and reshoring of manufacturing. During their EOY and Q4 earnings call, KULR also announced that their website has been updated and relaunched as KULR.ai to reflect this shift and the introduction of the new business unit. The new unit will be led by Josh Steinmann, VP of AI and Robotics.
The sixth-generation Apogee ULTRA is a proven, in-market solution engineered for large-scale deployment. Apogee ULTRA and anticipated future generations of the exoskeleton can enhance human energy output significantly and materially reduce workplace injuries, driving outsized returns on investment, employee satisfaction and retention, and reduced healthcare costs. This technology has demonstrated success across multiple sectors, including delivery logistics, supply chain solutions, manufacturing, construction, and healthcare.
Key elements of the partnership include a collaborative technology effort to further enhance the capabilities of Apogee ULTRA, the world’s most powerful exoskeleton, focused on performance improvements, AI integration, and increased user adaptability. KULR will also hold exclusive marketing and distribution rights for North America, establishing the Company as the primary provider of GB’s products spanning all industries.
KULR’s expansion into this sector aligns with US strategic priorities to expand domestic manufacturing and industry. The Company aims to become a key player in the next generation of AI-powered, human-centered robotic technologies serving delivery logistics, supply chain solutions, manufacturing, construction, and healthcare. Looking ahead, KULR plans to localize the manufacturing and assembly of future generation exoskeletons within the United States, supporting domestic supply chain resilience, reducing lead times, and enhancing scalability for widespread adoption.
