(MENAFN- ProactiveInvestors)Ekso Bionics (OTCMKTS:EKSO) told investors it has acquired gravity balancing arm technologies developed by the inventor of SteadiCam. Through a deal with Equipois LLC the company has acquired the zeroG and X-Ar products which are patented and allow users to maneuver tools and other objects as if they were weightless. It is anticipated that the technologies will be deployed in a number of industries such as aerospace defense automotive manufacturing to enhance human performance and safety. Under Equipois more than 600 units have so far been installed. Garrett Brown the zeroG and X-Ar inventor (and creator of the Steadicam) in a statement said: "It's exciting to see our technology go from helping people shoot movies to making peoples' lives better on the job site by helping to reduce fatigue protect from injuries and increase productivity." "It's wonderful to see Ekso Bionics bringing their exoskeleton technology into the industrial construction market for able-bodied workers much as they've already done for patients in medical rehabilitation. 'I'm excited to be a part of this new success." Ekso Bionics co-founder Russ Angold added: 'Our ongoing field trials throughout this past year have clearly shown that now is the time to bring our exoskeleton technology to the industrial construction market. 'Companies are ready for exoskeletons and their workers are eager to use them." "Adding the Equipois product portfolio provides us with core technology to meet customer demand and immediately expands our customer reach from construction to industrial and manufacturing end-users as well."

Brown is an award winning cinematographer and inventor. His breakthrough invention was the Steadicam a stabilisation arm which isolates the camera operator's movements from the camera and allows the user to move freely and quickly without tracks. He also invented the high-wire Skycam devices used to aerially film sporting and other outdoor events.
