BERLIN, Sept. 6 (Xinhua) -- Charging technology company CUKTECH has been showcasing a power-bank-driven lower-limb exoskeleton prototype and a range of charging products at IFA Berlin 2026, as it explores applications for its power technology beyond conventional charging devices.
IFA Berlin 2026, a consumer electronics and home appliances trade fair, runs from Sept. 4 to 8. Technology companies from around the world are presenting products spanning artificial intelligence, robotics, smart home technology and wearable devices, offering a glimpse into emerging trends in consumer technology.
CUKTECH has more than a decade of experience in power technology research and development. It has sold more than 30 million units worldwide and now serves customers in more than 40 countries and regions, according to the company.
At this year's fair, CUKTECH is presenting the CUKTECH Power Exoskeleton Kit, a lightweight lower-limb exoskeleton prototype powered by a removable CUKTECH power bank that slots into the device as its power module. The power bank can be replaced as needed and used separately to charge smartphones, cameras and other portable devices.
According to the company, the prototype incorporates a multimodal sensing system and lower-limb motion-intent recognition technology. It can detect and respond to the wearer's movements in real time, providing assistance on level ground, slopes and stairs.
The device weighs about 2.5 kg, provides up to 35 percent movement assistance and supports assisted movement at speeds of up to 18 km per hour.
In addition, CUKTECH is also displaying its latest charging products, including the CUKTECH 30 Charging Station, the CUKTECH 30 Charger and the CUKTECH 10 Charging Station.
Designed for office and multi-device settings, the desktop charging stations can power laptops, smartphones and other devices simultaneously, while built-in displays provide real-time information on charging status and power delivery.
Visitors gathered around the CUKTECH booth to try the charging products and learn about the functions and potential applications of the exoskeleton prototype.
Eric Wang, CUKTECH's chief marketing officer and head of its design center, told Xinhua that the company draws on China's supply chain and its in-house research and development capabilities to develop products for different overseas markets.
The company focuses on product design, charging performance, safety and cost control while adapting its products to the needs of different markets, he said.
Eric said CUKTECH would continue to develop its power technology and charging product lines while exploring further applications for portable power modules in smart devices. ■
