About
About RB3D
RB3D designs wearable and operator-controlled systems that reduce physical load in industrial, agricultural, construction, logistics and healthcare work. Its exoskeleton range includes the textile Symbo, mechanical Exoviti, shoulder-supporting Exo Up and powered Exoback, providing different levels of back, arm and load-carrying assistance while preserving the user's control of the task.
For heavier workstations, the motorised 4A350 manipulator moves bulky loads along four axes without transferring their inertia to the operator. The seven-axis 6A10 supports grinding tools, adds force and damps vibration while remaining manually guided. RB3D combines product supply with ergonomic assessment, workstation engineering, fitting, installation and maintenance so assistance is configured around the actual movement and exposure risks.

- 2025-02-24 - Capability - RB3D highlights 6A10 cobot for foundry grinding
RB3D positions the 6A10 as a grinding assistant for foundry work where large one-off parts from 100 kg to several tons are difficult to mechanise. The company also targets medium parts of 20–100 kg in small series, where manual grinding can remain preferable because cell programming may outweigh the total grinding time. RB3D says the cobot can keep grinding in-house while reducing vibration exposure, musculoskeletal risk, and human and logistical costs.

SYMBO is a mainly textile exoskeleton intended for jobs that regularly require people to work leaning forward. RB3D designed the system to limit fatigue in back muscles and ligaments before pain or musculoskeletal disorders develop. The launch broadened RB3D's range beyond its EXOVITI support system and its cobotic load and grinding manipulators.
