(Source: NetEase Technology) "I came here specifically for this." On September 23, the 5th Global Digital Trade Expo (hereinafter referred to as the "Digital Trade Expo") opened in Hangzhou, with crowds streaming through the exhibition halls.
The speaker was an elderly man with graying hair, leaning on a cane. His surname is Jin, and he is 80 years old this year. He said his thigh nerves had been under prolonged compression, and he and his cane had been a "golden duo" for many years. His visit to the Digital Trade Expo was to see if there was a high-tech product that could let his cane "take a few days off."
After searching for a long time, Grandpa Jin finally stopped in front of a booth and let out a long sigh of relief: "I finally found it." What he had been thinking about all along was a product brought by Hangzhou Chengti Technology Development Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Chengti Technology") — the GoGo-H Pro hip-assist exoskeleton walking robot.
GoGo-H Pro Lets an Octogenarian Retire His Cane Smoothly
Chengti Technology's booth was bustling, with a long queue constantly forming in front of the GoGo-H Pro walking-assistance experience area. Everyone wanted to try this device billed as the "first exoskeleton for the family."
A staff member crouched down to help Grandpa Jin put on the device. At first, he was a bit nervous. Although he had taken a step forward, his hand still gripped the cane tightly. After tentatively taking two steps, Grandpa Jin leaned the cane to one side — one step, two steps, and he walked a full round trip steadily. "My thighs have always been weak, and I wobble when I walk, unable to exert much strength," Grandpa Jin said. "After putting on this device, walking is noticeably easier than before." Before leaving, he made sure to add the staff member on WeChat, saying that once he got home, he would have his children help him get a set.
The GoGo-H Pro is a new-generation product released by Chengti Technology in August this year. After iterative upgrades, the entire device weighs only 2.2 kilograms, much lighter than other products on the market. Moreover, based on over 1 million real rehabilitation training sessions and 1 billion steps of data, the GoGo-H Pro's control frequency can reach 1,000 times per second, accurately sensing movement intentions and preventing users from feeling pushed along by the machine. The product has also newly captured three special gait patterns — a small-step gait for elderly people who cannot lift their legs, a single-step gait for those with unilateral limb dysfunction, and a circling gait typical of stroke patients.
"We have been making exoskeleton robots for over a decade. During this time, we have accumulated a large amount of real wearable data and achieved 100% in-house development in hardware. Our products can adapt to more people and let everyone wear them more freely, lightly, and comfortably," said Zhang Jiyu, co-founder and chief operating officer of Chengti Technology.
One GoGo-H Pro allowed Grandpa Jin to let go of his cane. But what Chengti Technology wants to do goes far beyond helping one person walk more steadily.
From Rehabilitation Wards to Logistics Warehouses, a Five-Pointed Star Lights Up Five Directions
Chengti Technology started in Hangzhou, so this Digital Trade Expo is something of a "home game." This time, it was not just the GoGo-H Pro, its "star pupil," on display — the full matrix of products covering "medical rehabilitation + daily walking assistance + industrial assistance" was also brought to the scene.
The UGO series lower-limb rehabilitation exoskeleton exhibited this time is Chengti Technology's core product deeply cultivated in the medical rehabilitation field. It obtained China's first NMPA registration certificate for an exoskeleton innovative medical device in the neurological rehabilitation direction, targeting patients with lower-limb motor dysfunction caused by central nervous system lesions such as spinal cord injury, stroke, traumatic brain injury, and Parkinson's disease. With no manual operation required, the product is automatically triggered throughout by walking intention. At present, it has been clinically applied in more than 1,800 medical institutions domestically and internationally, serving over 1 million patient visits cumulatively.
The KidGo series children's rehabilitation exoskeleton is specially designed for children with cerebral palsy, developmental delays, DMD (Duchenne muscular dystrophy), and other conditions. Through gait correction and motor function remodeling, the KidGo series helps children establish correct gait patterns during the golden rehabilitation period. It has already served many children's rehabilitation centers and hospital pediatric departments across the country.
In addition, industrial products such as handling exoskeletons for logistics scenarios were also unveiled. Notably, the booth also showcased Chengti Technology's brain-computer interface devices and brain-computer interface exoskeleton system for the first time at the Digital Trade Expo, driving the exoskeleton to complete gait training by collecting motor imagery EEG signals. Hong Xuanyu, head of Chengti Technology's brain-computer interface products, explained: "Previously, the machine carried the patient along, and the patient mechanically performed movements, making it easy to lose focus during training. But if the brain actively sends neural signals to drive muscle and bone movement, the rehabilitation process can be greatly accelerated."
"It is rare in the global exoskeleton field for a single company to cover the three tracks of medical, consumer, and industrial at the same time, and to obtain certifications from multiple countries in all of them," a Southeast Asian buyer couldn't help but exclaim. This is just like Chengti Technology's logo — a five-pointed star and five outward-pointing arrows, flourishing in five directions: health, entertainment, safety, transportation, and industry.
From the Exhibition Booth to 50 Countries Worldwide, Technology Lets People Become Themselves Again
All of Chengti Technology's products embody the same aspiration — to let everyone enjoy the services of robots. "Other robots solve the things people don't want to do, but exoskeleton robots solve the things people want to do but cannot do well or cannot do at all." Zhang Jiyu hopes that in the future, exoskeleton robots can enter everyone's life just like mobile phones. "A mobile phone is an extension of human functions, something like clairvoyance and clairaudience. But human functions degrade, so we hope that exoskeleton robots can ultimately become new organs for people," Zhang Jiyu said.
As a participant in formulating the national standards for exoskeleton robots, Chengti Technology is also the lead and core drafting unit for industry standards such as "Medical Lower-Limb Exoskeleton Robots," and already owns more than 700 intellectual property rights and 34 professional system certifications. This confidence has also taken the company abroad. As of now, Chengti Technology's products have been exported to 50 countries and regions worldwide. Its medical product line was the first to enter the EU market, achieving sales in Italy, Germany, and the United Kingdom, and gaining high recognition in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and South America; its industrial product line has long been favored by customers in Japan and South Korea; and its consumer product line set the all-time No. 1 crowdfunding amount in the exoskeleton category on the U.S. Kickstarter platform in 2025.
Chaimala from India is an international student at Tsinghua University and is very interested in rehabilitation. She came to the Digital Trade Expo with classmates and also tried Chengti Technology's products. "When I get old, the GoGo-H Pro will definitely help me climb stairs," she said. "Our professor told us that to understand China's economy, you cannot just stay in Beijing; you also need to come to the Yangtze River Delta and look around. I think Chengti Technology's products also represent, to a certain extent, the development of Chinese technology."
"Right now, there are many 'players' in the exoskeleton robot track. The fact that everyone is willing to participate in this industry precisely proves that the market has prospects. We also hope to work with other exoskeleton companies to make the cake bigger, broaden the boundaries of the industry, and let Chinese exoskeleton technology release greater industrial value in the new global digital trade ecosystem," Zhang Jiyu said.
At the Digital Trade Expo, various cutting-edge technologies are dazzling, but the ultimate goal of technology is to bring well-being to people, allowing every ordinary person to feel the new hope brought by technology. Chengti Technology, together with a host of robotics companies, is racing toward this direction at full speed.
