Dnsys launches lightweight knee exoskeleton offering AI-powered adaptive assistance at the millisecond level Dnsys launches lightweight knee exoskeleton offering AI-powered adaptive assistance at the millisecond level

PR Newswire

HONG KONG, July 22, 2025

Now live on Kickstarter, Dnsys Z1 provides a 50% boost in leg strength for easier climbing and long-distance walking

HONG KONG, July 22, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Today, Dnsys Innovation launched a crowdfunding campaign for its latest wearable: an AI-powered knee exoskeleton. The Dnsys Z1 delivers intelligent, adaptive assistance in a lightweight, compact form, making movement feel up to 44lbs (20kg) lighter while reducing strain on legs and joints. It is available now for backing on Kickstarter, with early bird pricing starting at $699 USD (Dnsys Z1 Single Joint), $899 USD (Dnsys Z1 Dual Joint) and $1398 USD (Dnsys Z1 Dual Joint PRO) for initial supporters.

The Dnsys Z1 delivers intelligent, adaptive assistance in a lightweight, compact form, making movement feel up to 44lbs (20kg) lighter while reducing strain on legs and joints.

Designed for all-day wearing without bulk, the Dnsys Z1 has a mechanical weight of 1.5lbs (680g) per leg, placing it among the lightest exoskeletons in its class. Dual motors deliver 900W of power for responsive, intelligent support during standing, walking, ascending, descending, squatting, skiing, and other everyday movements. Unlike manual exoskeletons, the device automatically adjusts to the user's movements. A self-learning AI algorithm adapts in real-time to gait, terrain, and fatigue, enabling millisecond-level adjustments and seamless transitions between walking, ascending, descending, sitting, and standing.

"It was important for us to create a device that enhances mobility naturally," said Sage Dong, founder and CEO of Dnsys Innovation. "Our exoskeleton supports users through real?world movement, reducing impact and improving endurance without complicated controls."

During climbs or descents, the Z1 offloads up to 2x bodyweight (330lbs / 150kg) in knee load, for advanced joint protection. It boosts thigh and calf strength by up to 50% for easier climbing and long-distance walking, and delivers up to 44lbs (20kg) of lifting power. The device also reduces muscle fatigue, allowing users to walk up to 15.5 miles (25km) farther and climb 9.3 miles (15km) higher on a single charge.

Other features include up to five hours of battery life, IP54 water resistance for outdoor use, and a wrap-and-go setup time of less than 15 seconds.

This campaign follows the success of Dnsys' first crowdfunding effort for the Dnsys X1, a hip-assist exoskeleton designed to support thigh lift with AI-powered motors. That campaign raised $1.5?million across Kickstarter and Indiegogo, with direct sales beginning in March 2025 after fulfilling all backer deliveries.

Mass production of the Dnsys Z1 is scheduled for September 2025, with shipments to backers projected for November.

Founded in 2021, Dnsys brings together robotics experts from DJI, Segway, and Xiaomi to develop cutting-edge AI-powered exoskeletons that enhance mobility. With over 90% of the team made up of engineers, Dnsys has earned more than 20 patents and built exosuits used by leading hospitals and outdoor enthusiasts alike. From CFDA-approved medical devices to the Dnsys X1 for everyday movement and exploration, to the Dnsys Z1 for joint relief and real-time mobility assistance in dynamic environments, the company continues to push boundaries in wearable robotics, making outdoor activity safer, easier, and more enjoyable for all.

The goal of the awards is to identify and recognize the franchisors creating and implementing the most original and successful innovative strategies and tactics to build their brand. Christian Brothers Automotive (CBA), leading automotive repair franchise, was recognized with the Most Innovative Service Introduction Award in the 'Products & Services' category for its Nice Difference Care+ vehicle service contract.

"We're honored to be recognized for Nice Difference Care+," said Donnie Carr, CBA president and CEO. "This award reflects the heart of our mission to provide car care that is built on trust, clarity, and convenience. It's a testament to the incredible work of our team in reimagining how we serve our guests."

A jury of judges evaluated the innovation, objectives and results of more than 80 entrants.

As a modern approach to comprehensive vehicle protection, Care+ is a subscription-based vehicle service contract that simplifies extended coverage. Unlike traditional vehicle warranties, Care+ offers guests month-to-month flexibility with no long-term commitment, added transparency with upfront vehicle inspections to identify pre-existing issues and coverage exclusions, seamless claims with no third-party processing delays and a $50 oil change credit every four months of active coverage to encourage routine maintenance and inspections. In addition, Veterans, first responders and active military enjoy a zero-dollar deductible from sign-up.

With nearly 1,590 active subscriptions and more than 400 claims paid to date, Care+ also serves as a powerful tool for CBA franchise owners to differentiate themselves from other car care shops while also enhancing their overall service offerings and guest retention. Care+ has become a proud symbol of the CBA "Nice Difference" in action and is poised to play a central role in the brand's consumer experience strategy.

"Nice Difference Care+ reflects the best of what we do in working together to deliver a smoother, more transparent experience for our guests, from the first inspection to every claim thereafter," said Scott Comar, VP of warranty administration. "We're incredibly grateful to our team for the dedication and collaboration that brought this program to life."

Founded in Mission Bend, Texas in 1982, CBA has redefined the auto care experience. The brand's priority is to create a positive experience for every guest.

The poolside fete, on Saturday, July 26th at  FLOAT at the Hard Rock Hotel, is the party of the weekend.

The creative team will discuss all the twists and turns of season 1 and tease what's to come for season 2. Moderated by EW Editorial Director Gerrad Hall, the panel will take place in Indigo Ballroom.

Saturday July 26:Brave Warriors (2:30pm PT): They may be fighters on screen, but that doesn't mean they're not lovers (of the craft).

SAN FRANCISCO, July 22, 2025

Former Slack and Salesforce GC joins Ballistic to advise founders and focus on future innovation in a security landscape increasingly impacted by complex privacy, compliance and regulatory changes.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ballistic Ventures, the venture capital firm dedicated exclusively to funding and incubating entrepreneurs and innovations in cybersecurity, today announced that David Schellhase has joined the firm as an Entrepreneur in Residence (EIR).

Schellhase brings over 25 years of legal and operational leadership with a track record of scaling high-growth technology companies and guiding them through pivotal transitions. He has served as General Counsel at six companies, including Salesforce and Groupon during their IPOs, and most recently at Slack Technologies, where he also led teams responsible for legal, privacy, corporate development, business development, public affairs, the Slack Fund, and Slack for Good. He led Slack through their IPO and their $28B sale to Salesforce. He also spent the past two years as Of Counsel at the law firm of Sullivan & Cromwell and co-taught a course last term in Stanford's School of Management Science and Engineering.

"David's extensive experience at the intersection of law, technology, and corporate strategy makes him a great addition to our team," said Jake Seid, Co-founder and General Partner of Ballistic Ventures. "From companies to consumers, how privacy, compliance and regulation is dealt with is complex and burdensome. We see tremendous opportunities for innovation in these areas to ease that burden, and we're excited for David to both support our companies and explore new ideas of his own."

"Ballistic has built a rare platform for founders, combining deep expertise and a hands-on approach from inception to scale," said Schellhase.
