  • AI to Wear: German Bionic Presents the Exia robotic Exoskeleton at CES 2026

    A new generation of wearable robotics: Exia applies Physical AI to support human movement across logistics, industry, and care

    BERLIN, GERMANY, January 2, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — German Bionic, the global robotics pioneer that first connected exoskeletons to the cloud, will present its newest exoskeleton, Exia, at CES 2026 in Las Vegas from January 6–9, 2026. For German Bionic, CES 2026 marks its fifth consecutive year exhibiting at the world’s leading technology show. The company has previously been recognized at CES for its power suits with a Best of Innovation Award in the Wearable Technologies category.

    From Artificial Intelligence to Physical Intelligence

    With Exia, German Bionic bridges the gap between digital intelligence and physical work. As a Physical AI system, Exia does not merely analyze tasks – it acts directly in the real world, supporting human movement in real time. At its core is German Bionic’s proprietary Augmented AI: AI trained not on simulations alone, but on billions of anonymized motion data points created by real people in real working environments across logistics, manufacturing, retail, airports, and healthcare.

    The result is a wearable robotic system that understands how people truly lift, walk, carry, bend, and move at work – and delivers precisely targeted support from the very first use, while continuously learning and refining its behavior over time. Through regular over-the-air (OTA) updates, Exia can also gain new functions and enhancements throughout its lifecycle, ensuring that the system remains future-proof and that customer investments are protected for the long term.

    Multi-industry, one device via Augmented AI

    Exia provides up to 84 lbs. (38 kg) of dynamic lifting assistance per movement and actively supports walking, carrying, and work in bent-over positions. Lightweight, robust, and fully connected, it is designed as a one-for-all solution for physically demanding jobs across industries.

    A true multi-purpose system, it tackles a wide range of demanding use cases with a single device. In logistics and intralogistics, it supports repetitive lifting, pallet handling, picking, loading, and carrying over long distances. In production and manufacturing, it assists with assembly work, machine loading, material handling, and prolonged tasks in bent or awkward postures. In healthcare and nursing, Exia supports patient mobilization, repositioning, transfers between beds and wheelchairs, as well as physically demanding care routines. What makes this possible is Exia’s Augmented AI, which continuously interprets context, movement patterns, and loads to adapt its support dynamically to each task and each wearer. Instead of requiring different exoskeletons for different jobs, Exia delivers intelligent, situation-aware support across industries – from the same wearable system.

    Human-Centered Physical AI for Real-World Challenges

    Exia is not designed to replace people, but to augment human capabilities. It directly addresses some of the most pressing challenges in today’s working world: rising rates of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), demographic change, labor shortages, and increasing physical workloads.
    By actively supporting the lower back and adapting in real time to individual users and tasks, Exia helps reduce injury risk, increase productivity, and extend healthy working lives. This makes physically demanding jobs safer, more inclusive, and more attractive – a decisive factor for recruitment and long-term retention.

    “What motivates us most is what Exia does for the people who keep our societies running every day,” says Norma Steller, Chief Technology Officer at German Bionic. “Whether in warehouses, on production floors, or in nursing wards – these are physically demanding, system-critical jobs. Exia is built to take real loads off their backs, reduce strain in every movement, and help them get through demanding shifts in a healthier, safer, and less tiring way. Supporting these workers with intelligent, reliable technology is not a future vision for us – it is exactly what Exia is already doing today.”

    Connected Intelligence: Exia, Connect App & German Bionic IO

    Exia is part of German Bionic’s fully connected 360° Human Augmentation ecosystem. Through the German Bionic Connect App, users gain access to individual settings, usage analytics, and personal performance insights. At fleet level, the German Bionic IO data insights platform enables ergonomic assessments, activity monitoring, and professional fleet management via an intuitive dashboard.
    This integrated system transforms manual handling into a data-driven, digitally supported workflow – turning physical work into a measurable, optimizable, and safer way process.

    “Our core systems in Physical AI, robotics, and human–machine interaction are already deployed in real working environments today,” says Armin G. Schmidt, CEO and co-founder of German Bionic. “Our new Exia exoskeleton actively uses and operationalizes this technology at the highest level – applying Physical AI directly to the human body to deliver immediate, measurable support in physically demanding jobs. This strengthens health, inclusion, and sustainability at scale. And being part of German Bionic’s Physical AI platform, the technology will continuously evolve to soon extend far beyond today’s work use cases, to also help people remain active, independent, and mobile longer as populations age, across many areas of life and leisure.”

    New vest designs engineered for female physiology

    At CES 2026, German Bionic will also present newly developed Exia vest designs specifically engineered around female physiology. Unlike other exoskeleton approaches relying on straps or belt-based constructions, Exia is built around a unique, fully developed vest system designed to distribute loads evenly across the upper body. This architecture is critical for comfort, ergonomic stability, and consistent performance over full work shifts, as it avoids concentrating forces on isolated contact points. The new vest designs optimize fit and load distribution for female body types and expand the Exia vest portfolio, supporting broader adoption across industries — particularly in nursing and care roles, where many users are women and long-term wearability is essential.

    Experience Exia Live at CES 2026

    At the German Pavilion, hosted by the German Federal Government, CES visitors can try on Exia themselves and experience firsthand how Augmented AI and Physical AI work together to support human movement intelligently and intuitively in real time.

  • Cars and Fashion: How Vehicles Became a Part of Personal Identity

    Why cars in 2025 reflect personal values as much as clothing

    Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. It is in the sky, in the street, it has to do with ideas, the way we live.”

    — Coco Chanel

    NORTH CAROLINA, NC, UNITED STATES, January 2, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — In 2025, a car is no longer viewed purely as a mode of transportation. It has become a social and cultural marker — something that communicates a person’s lifestyle, values, and priorities before a single word is spoken. Much like fashion, it reveals how people see themselves and how they wish to be seen by others.

    The connection between automobiles and personal image is not new, but in recent years it has become more deliberate. As urban spaces grow denser and digital media amplify visual culture, the car has evolved into an expression of taste and belonging.

    “Today, choosing a car is as much a personal statement as choosing what to wear. Vehicles reflect identity and worldview,” says Avi-Meir Zaslavsky, founder of 333AutoWorld.

    The aesthetics of cars have always mattered, but in the 2020s design became a central part of their cultural function. Lines, proportions, and even the color of a vehicle are often selected not just for beauty or aerodynamics but for what they symbolize.

    For many, cars represent subtle forms of communication — quiet indicators of minimalism, confidence, or nostalgia. Compact electric vehicles with smooth shapes tend to attract drivers who value innovation and efficiency. Large sedans and SUVs, by contrast, are often chosen by those who prioritize comfort, security, and social recognition.

    Urban environments have intensified this relationship. In cities, where cars are constantly on display, design choices become public statements. The exterior finish or the tone of the interior can be as revealing as a person’s style of dress.

    Among younger generations, the link between fashion and mobility is especially strong. Many see the car as a form of digital expression — an object that should integrate seamlessly with the rest of their technology-driven lifestyle.

    Instead of status, what matters is authenticity and design coherence. A car’s interface, lighting, and environmental footprint are all part of its perceived personality. Electric sedans and compact crossovers with clean, futuristic shapes attract young professionals who associate progress with aesthetics and sustainability.

    Hyundai Ioniq 6 – An aerodynamic electric sedan representing the shift toward minimalist design.

    Tesla Model 3 (2025 refresh) – A continuation of the “less-is-more” philosophy, emphasizing function through simplicity.

    In this demographic, style merges with purpose. The vehicle is both a tool and an accessory — not extravagant, but curated, like a smartphone or a carefully chosen pair of shoes.

    “For younger drivers, cars are a form of visual communication. They reflect an awareness of technology, design, and environmental responsibility,” says Zaslavsky.

    For more mature motorists, the relationship between fashion and cars takes a different form. The emphasis is less on novelty and more on refinement. A reliable sedan or SUV, finished in understated colors, often carries greater meaning than a sports car with bold accents.

    This group values craftsmanship, comfort, and restraint. Their cars are designed not to attract attention but to convey consistency and composure — qualities that align with professional and personal stability.

    Lexus ES – Known for measured design and interior quietness.

    Mercedes-Benz E-Class – A traditional choice for those who appreciate structured elegance.

    These vehicles embody the principle that style does not always have to stand out. Sometimes, it resides in balance and simplicity — in details that reveal consideration rather than display.

    The growing overlap between the automotive and fashion industries illustrates how visual identity now extends beyond clothing. Designers and carmakers increasingly collaborate to blur the boundary between mobility and lifestyle.

    Projects like BMW x Kith or Mini x Paul Smith combine car design with signature fashion aesthetics. These collaborations do not merely add logos or color palettes — they reinterpret the car as a wearable space, aligning it with values like individuality, sustainability, or heritage.

    Such partnerships also highlight a larger cultural trend: the desire for personalization. In the same way that fashion offers tailored garments, car buyers seek materials, finishes, and configurations that reflect their personal environment. The line between industrial product and personal artifact continues to narrow.

    A defining trend of the decade is how ecological awareness has become an aspect of fashion itself. The decision to drive an electric or hybrid vehicle often carries symbolic meaning beyond practical considerations.

    For many drivers, sustainability represents integrity — a visible alignment between values and behavior. Owning a vehicle with lower emissions, recycled materials, or a transparent production process has become a way of signaling responsibility without the need for words.

    Toyota Prius (2025) – Continues to serve as a recognizable symbol of practical environmentalism.

    Polestar 3 – A minimalist electric SUV built with sustainable materials, appealing to drivers who link ecology with design clarity.

    The aesthetic of sustainability often mirrors the language of modern fashion: clean lines, neutral tones, and a preference for transparency over ornamentation. What used to be a niche environmental choice is now an aesthetic and ethical standard.

    “Sustainability today functions as both an environmental and cultural value. Driving an electric vehicle expresses awareness and self-discipline,” notes Zaslavsky.

    In earlier decades, cars were used to signal wealth and exclusivity. A luxury badge or a powerful engine defined success. By 2025, this symbolism has shifted. Social prestige is no longer solely associated with extravagance but with balance — the ability to combine good design, functionality, and ethical awareness.

    This transition parallels fashion’s evolution from brand-driven status to value-driven self-expression. Owning a car is not necessarily about standing above others, but about demonstrating coherence between personal beliefs and everyday choices.

    As design becomes more democratic, even modest vehicles can carry a sense of style if their proportions, materials, and details feel intentional. The focus has moved from what the car costs to what it communicates.

    Cars and fashion share a deeper similarity: both operate as forms of language. They organize symbols, colors, and textures to create meaning. When someone chooses a compact EV in matte silver or a classic sedan in deep navy, that decision is rarely accidental.

    These choices speak to ideas of modernity, tradition, restraint, or individuality. Cars, like clothing, mediate between the private and the public self — a way of shaping how one is perceived while navigating everyday environments.

    The automobile has become a moving reflection of contemporary identity. It combines industrial design with emotional narrative — an intersection of material and meaning that continues to evolve.

    By 2025, the link between cars and fashion has matured into a subtle but persistent reality. Younger generations see vehicles as extensions of their digital and visual lives, while older drivers treat them as expressions of stability and continuity. Both perspectives point to the same conclusion: cars have become part of personal communication.

    They are not simply machines, nor mere possessions. They are designed statements — objects that travel through both physical and cultural landscapes.

    In 2025, the same can be said of cars. They have moved beyond function and into the realm of expression — quiet companions in the ongoing dialogue between individuality and society.

  • Endodontic Expert Dr. Allen Meier Clarifies Why General Dentists Refer Patients to Endodontists in HelloNation

    Why does a general dentist refer a patient to an endodontist?

    BLOOMINGTON, IN, UNITED STATES, January 2, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Why does a general dentist refer a patient to an endodontist? That question is explored in a HelloNation article featuring Dr. Allen Meier of the Endodontic Center of Southern Indiana. The article provides a clear look at how general dentists and endodontists collaborate to preserve natural teeth, relieve pain, and prevent complications.

    According to Dr. Meier, referrals between a general dentist and an endodontist are not signs of serious problems but part of an effective plan for high-quality dental care. General dentists oversee a patient’s overall oral health, offering exams, cleanings, and preventive treatments. They also diagnose early signs of decay and manage routine procedures. However, when a case involves deep tooth pain, infection, or damage within the pulp, an endodontist becomes essential.

    As described in the HelloNation feature, an endodontist completes advanced training beyond dental school to focus on the inner structures of the tooth, including the pulp and root canals. When a general dentist encounters cases of severe infection or pain, they often refer the patient to an endodontist for root canal therapy. This procedure removes infection, cleans the canal system, and seals it to preserve the natural tooth. Because endodontists perform root canal therapy every day, their experience ensures the process is efficient and comfortable.

    Dr. Meier explains that tooth pain is one of the most common reasons for a referral. When pain originates deep inside the tooth and feels sharp or throbbing, it often indicates inflammation or infection within the pulp. A general dentist can identify this issue but may recommend specialized treatment from an endodontist to resolve it properly. By focusing solely on internal tooth health, endodontists help patients recover from pain while keeping their natural teeth intact.

    A cracked tooth can also lead to a referral. Cracks are often difficult to detect because they may not be visible on standard imaging. A patient might experience pain when chewing or notice sensitivity to pressure or temperature. Endodontists use magnification and three dimensional imaging to locate these hidden cracks. Early detection is critical because a cracked tooth can worsen and threaten the root structure if left untreated. Referring the patient to an endodontist allows the problem to be addressed before the damage spreads.

    Severe decay is another factor. Sometimes decay progresses so deeply that a standard filling or crown will not solve the problem. In such cases, a general dentist refers the patient to an endodontist for root canal therapy before completing the final restoration. This two-step process ensures the infection is eliminated before rebuilding the tooth. Dr. Meier notes that this coordination between the general dentist and endodontist strengthens the tooth’s foundation and promotes lasting oral health.

    Dental trauma also commonly prompts referrals. Injuries from sports, accidents, or falls can cause hidden internal damage. Even if the tooth appears unbroken, the pulp or roots may still be affected. An endodontist is trained to evaluate this internal damage, determining whether the tooth can be saved. Dr. Meier emphasizes that early intervention following dental trauma can make the difference between keeping a tooth or losing it.

    Persistent or unexplained symptoms may also require a second opinion from an endodontist. A general dentist might find no visible decay, yet the patient continues to experience discomfort. Because endodontists specialize in the internal anatomy of the tooth, they can identify subtle root or pulp issues that may go undetected in standard exams. These referrals ensure that even complex or unclear cases receive the detailed analysis they require.

    Another reason for referral involves retreatment. A tooth that has already undergone root canal therapy may occasionally become painful again or develop a new infection. Endodontists perform retreatment by reopening the tooth, removing the old filling material, addressing the infection, and resealing it. This precise work requires advanced skill, and general dentists often rely on endodontists to complete it successfully. Retreatment offers patients another opportunity to save a tooth rather than face extraction.

    Dr. Meier also points out that general dentists refer patients to ensure that difficult internal cases are managed by professionals who specialize in this work. Endodontists use technology designed for precision, including digital imaging and specialized instruments, to navigate narrow root canals and remove infected tissue effectively. This collaboration between the general dentist and endodontist gives patients the best chance for a strong recovery.

    Trust between both providers is at the core of this process. General dentists depend on endodontists for their specialized expertise, while endodontists depend on general dentists to restore the tooth after treatment. This teamwork ensures the tooth’s internal and external structures remain healthy and functional. A referral is not a sign of failure but a reflection of coordinated care designed to protect the patient’s long-term oral health.

    When a general dentist recommends seeing an endodontist, the goal is always the same: to relieve tooth pain, eliminate infection, and preserve the natural tooth. These referrals help patients receive the highest level of care for complex dental issues such as decay, dental trauma, or cracked teeth. Together, both professionals deliver comprehensive dental care that prioritizes comfort and long-term success.

    The article, Why Your General Dentist May Refer You to an Endodontist, features insights from Dr. Allen Meier of the Endodontic Center of Southern Indiana in HelloNation.

  • Real Estate Expert Ginny Fey Shares Guidance on Selling a Home with Care in HelloNation

    How can older adults sell a longtime home while honoring the memories within it?

    TRAVERSE CITY, MI, UNITED STATES, January 2, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — How can older adults sell a longtime home while honoring the memories within it? In HelloNation, real estate expert Ginny Fey of Real Estate One in Traverse City, Michigan, offers thoughtful advice on approaching this emotional transition with both care and strategy. She explains that selling a home after retirement is not just a transaction, but the closing of a meaningful chapter.

    Fey encourages homeowners to begin with intention. Preparing a home for sale involves more than listing and paperwork. It requires balancing the emotional weight of leaving with practical steps that help the home shine for its next chapter. Decluttering, making simple updates, and staging with warmth all contribute to creating an inviting space for new buyers while honoring the home’s history.

    According to Fey, a well-prepared home tells a story that goes beyond bricks and mortar. Small updates such as painting walls, refreshing lighting, or sprucing up landscaping can make the home feel brighter and more welcoming. These changes improve first impressions without erasing the character that made the house special.

    She also recommends taking time to reflect before making changes. Walking through each room, acknowledging its meaning, and documenting favorite spaces with photographs or stories can help homeowners process the transition. This practice turns preparation into a chance to honor the past rather than rush past it.

    Professional support can also make the process smoother. Specialists who understand senior transitions bring both expertise and sensitivity, ensuring that each step of selling is handled with compassion. With the right guidance, homeowners can move forward with greater confidence and peace of mind.

    Fey acknowledges that emotions often run high during this process. She reassures readers that it is natural to grieve while saying goodbye to a place that has held years of memories. Letting those feelings surface is part of honoring what the home has meant.

    When the time comes to hand over the keys, Fey frames it not as an ending but as the beginning of a new chapter for both the seller and the buyer. Just as one family once made the house their own, another will now have the chance to create new stories within its walls.

    These ideas are explored further in Ginny Fey’s article, Parting with Care: Selling a Home You’ve Loved, where she shares practical steps and emotional insight for those preparing to sell a beloved home after retirement.

  • Asian Americans launch AI Alliance to drive education, innovation, policy

    The Alliance aims to engage Asian Americans to contribute and drive developments in the most consequential technology since the introduction of the internet.

    When we were considering what to name this group, we came upon the idea of ‘AI Alliance’, which is a standard size of paper used around the world, including in Asia Pacific”

    — John Wang, founder and president of AABDC

    NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, January 2, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — As Artificial Intelligence leads the next chapter of industrial progress in America, a newly formed coalition of entrepreneurs, corporate tech professionals and policy experts announces the launch of the Asian American AI Alliance.

    Representing a demographic that makes up more than 57% of the U.S. tech workforce, the Alliance aims to engage Asian Americans to actively contribute and drive developments in the most consequential technology since the introduction of the internet.

    Incubated by the Asian American Business Development Center (AABDC), a pioneer in developing business in the community for over three decades, the Alliance will host the Kickoff Summit on January 13, 2026, in New York City.

    The project is led by Rohan Thapar, a member of the AABDC Board of Directors and Anindo Dutta, an EY Partner, who have brought together a cross-sector group of professionals and founders to establish a unified perspective on AI advancement, education and responsible innovation.

    “When we were considering what to name this group, we came upon the idea of ‘AI Alliance’, which is a standard size of paper used around the world, including in Asia Pacific. It is a metaphor for a blank sheet of paper that we will fill with research and ideas that our talented members bring to enrich the future of AI,” said John Wang, founder and president of AABDC.

    “AI Alliance paper is so commonly used in printers around the world that it is considered indispensable but is often invisible. We see the Alliance as bringing Asian Americans who have been quietly laboring in the engine rooms of some of our leading AI companies into the boardrooms to inform, lead and direct the intersection of humans and AI,” Wang added.

    Dutta is an EY Global ServiceNow Alliance Leader, while Austin-based Thapar is a Senior Product Manager, specializing in AI product startups to drive tech innovation. The Alliance’s founding members include professionals who have worked at IBM, Accenture, Heidrick & Struggles, PwC, Pfizer, Genpact and Fanatics Collectibles.

    In addition, this inaugural group includes three founders. AI Alliance’s three operating pillars are: Education & Workforce Development; Policy & Advocacy, and Industry & Business Innovation.

    The U.S. is the global leader in AI, and the market is expected to grow to over $319 billion by 2032, from $66.4 billion in 2025. In the first half of 2025, AI-related capital expenditures contributed about 1.1 to 1.5 percentage points to U.S. GDP growth.

  • Manufacturing Expert James Gizzi of Rochester Breaks Down CNC Machining Scalability for HelloNation

    How can CNC machining support a product from early prototyping through full-scale manufacturing?

    ROCHESTER, NY, UNITED STATES, January 2, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — How can CNC machining support a product from early prototyping through full-scale manufacturing? According to a HelloNation article, James Gizzi of Advantech Industries in Rochester, NY, explains how this technology adapts to every phase of development, helping businesses move from concept to market with efficiency and precision.

    The article highlights that CNC machining is uniquely equipped to produce accurate prototype parts quickly. Engineers can use these early models to evaluate fit, function, and appearance, allowing them to refine designs before committing to larger batches. Because prototyping with CNC machining offers fast turnaround and reliable accuracy, teams can test ideas without long delays.

    As projects progress, CNC machining shifts naturally into small-batch manufacturing. Gizzi notes that this stage is ideal for pilot runs, early product launches, or initial field testing. Shops can repeat the same programmed processes with dependable results, maintaining tight tolerances and consistent quality from part to part. This makes small-scale manufacturing both practical and cost-effective.

    When demand grows, the same technology supports full production. Automated tooling and multi-axis capabilities allow for high-volume output without compromising precision. The article explains that many facilities also fine-tune toolpaths and create custom fixturing to shorten cycle times during larger manufacturing runs. CNC machining therefore provides a smooth path from limited builds to widespread distribution.

    Process stability is another advantage. Once a part has been successfully programmed, that data becomes a long-term resource. Businesses can return for repeat manufacturing with the confidence that specifications will remain consistent. Gizzi emphasizes that this reliability helps teams maintain product integrity throughout each phase of scaling.

    The article, Prototyping to Production: How CNC Machining Can Scale with Your Business features insights from James Gizzi of Advantech Industries in HelloNation.

  • Former Amazon Robotics Engineer Highlights Need for Unified Safety Frameworks in Autonomous Systems

    Industry assessor cites growing fragmentation of responsibility across autonomy technology stacks

    ATLANTA , GA, UNITED STATES, January 2, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — As autonomous systems continue to increase in complexity, responsibility for functional safety is becoming increasingly fragmented across the technology stack, according to Jherrod Thomas, a former Amazon robotics engineer and an NVIDIA functional safety assessor.

    Drawing on his experience assessing safety-critical platforms used in autonomous vehicles and robotics, Thomas observes that many organizations involved in autonomy operate with differing interpretations of functional safety. Automakers, software developers, system integrators, and silicon providers often optimize within their own domains without a shared, end-to-end safety framework that clearly defines responsibility across the full system lifecycle.

    In his current role evaluating advanced compute platforms, artificial intelligence acceleration, and integrated software ecosystems, Thomas reviews how hardware, perception systems, and software pipelines are combined and validated for real-world deployment. This work provides a cross-industry view of how safety assumptions formed at one layer of a system can propagate downstream as platforms evolve through updates, retraining, and operational changes.

    Modern autonomous systems are composed of independently developed components, including perception algorithms, neural networks, high-performance computing, vehicle control systems, and continuous deployment pipelines. While individual components may meet applicable standards, the overall system can lack a unified safety case that documents ownership, assumptions, and accountability as the system changes over time.

    As a Certified Functional Safety Expert and Certified Machine Safety Expert, and as a participant in UL technical committees and multiple ISO working groups, he has spent more than two decades working at the intersection of engineering practice and safety standards. His work also includes reviewing advanced patents, including research originating from NASA, and contributing to the development and interpretation of evolving safety frameworks.

    Based on this experience, he argues that the next phase of autonomy requires safety cases that remain active and continuously maintained, rather than static documents tied to a single certification milestone. As systems change through software updates and machine learning optimization, safety assumptions must be reviewed and documented to prevent gaps in accountability.

    According to his analysis, failures in autonomous systems are more likely to emerge at the boundaries between teams, tools, and assumptions than within individual components themselves. Without a shared safety language and coordinated responsibility, risks can accumulate even when each subsystem appears compliant in isolation.

    By emphasizing unified and continuously maintained safety frameworks, he encourages the industry to approach functional safety as an ongoing, system-wide responsibility that evolves alongside autonomous technology.
