Dnsys Z1: an AI-powered and lightweight knee exoskeleton

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.

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.
