CES 2026 Innovation Awards Honoree: ATOUN Unveils VIATRIX — Its First Consumer-Grade Exoskeleton

The Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2026) kicked off today in Las Vegas, USA, bringing together the world’s most innovative tech companies. For the third time, ATOUN Robotics, a leader in the exoskeleton industry, returned to CES—this time making a bold leap into the consumer market with the overseas debut of its first consumer-grade product: the VIATRIX Extended-Range Powered Exoskeleton.

Recognized with a prestigious CES Innovation Award by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA)—a hallmark of excellence and a bellwether for global tech trends—VIATRIX stands as the only exoskeleton honored in this year’s awards. The accolade validates not only its technical foresight and practical usability but also marks ATOUN’s pioneering transition from industrial exoskeleton leadership to mainstream consumer adoption.

>From Industrial Strength to Everyday Wear>

After years of building deep technical moats in industrial exoskeletons, ATOUN has now “democratized” its high-performance technology through VIATRIX—bringing rugged, field-tested capabilities into daily outdoor life. This strategic move signals a new chapter in exoskeleton accessibility, transforming what was once specialized equipment into a wearable companion for everyday adventurers.

>Float360 Architecture Redefines Human-Machine Harmony>

At the heart of VIATRIX is ATOUN’s proprietary Float360 floating hip joint architecture—a breakthrough that instantly captivated CES attendees. On the show’s opening day, the ATOUN booth (LVCC North Hall, Booth #8929) drew dense crowds, with visitors lining up for hands-on experiences.

Designed to break free from traditional usage constraints, VIATRIX targets seamless integration into outdoor lifestyles. The Float360 system features a 4-degree-of-freedom (4-DoF) hip joint—surpassing the human hip’s natural 3-DoF range—to fully track the complex motion of the thigh and pelvis across all terrains, from rocky trails to steep ascents.

“The human hip is inherently complex,” said Xu Zhenhua, Founder and Chairman of ATOUN. “Our 4-DoF floating hip joint dynamically adapts to real-time body movements, ensuring the exoskeleton moves *with* the user—not against them. It eliminates the rigid, jerky feel of conventional designs while preserving complete freedom of natural motion.”

Complemented by ATOUN’s self-developed automotive-grade motors for smooth, reliable power delivery and a sleek, fashion-forward aesthetic, VIATRIX bridges performance and style—proving that functional tech can also be wearable art.

>A Signal of a New Era in Wearable Robotics>

As a global barometer of consumer tech, CES serves not just as a showcase—but as a telescope into the future. With VIATRIX, ATOUN sends a clear message: exoskeleton technology is rapidly moving beyond factories and labs and into parks, trails, and city streets. And ATOUN is ready to lead this transformation.

Looking ahead, the company pledges to keep refining its technology—ensuring exoskeletons are not only functional, but also stylish, portable, and truly accessible to users worldwide.
