ViveLab Exo – Objective Exoskeleton Evaluation Platform
ViveLab Exo is an industrial-grade analytics platform designed to objectively measure how exoskeletons reduce physical strain on workers. It combines motion capture data, biomechanical torque analysis, and internationally recognized ergonomic standards.
Users provide structured task information through the protocol, with optional video or Xsens motion data. The platform processes the motion to compute joint torques and compares the results with an embedded database of exoskeleton models to identify which devices offer real, measurable support.
The platform generates a comprehensive, downloadable PDF report that provides decision-makers with objective evidence regarding the expected ergonomic and performance benefits of exoskeleton deployment.
After registration, each user must join an existing or newly created Company, as all platform functions operate on a company-level data structure.
The analysis workflow consists of three steps: Customer → Project → Assessment. Based on this structure, the system generates a Pre-Assessment report, providing an initial indication of which exoskeleton types may offer support for the given workstation.
If motion capture data is available for the task, the system can generate a TIE report, which precisely quantifies the biomechanical support provided by the exoskeletons defined in the platform. Motion files can be uploaded directly to the relevant Assessment.
If the available motion data is only in binary MVN format, the user must create a Task, enabling the automatic MVN → MVNX conversion. The resulting MVNX file can then be fully processed by the motion analysis module.
Billing & Credits
Certain platform features — such as detailed motion analysis and report generation — operate on a credit-based model. Credits are managed at the company level and are used by all users for their transactions within the system. Additionally, the platform provider issues a monthly invoice to the Company Admin summarizing all completed transactions and credit usage for accounting purposes.
The company credit balance can be topped up in advance via secure PayPal payments, ensuring uninterrupted access to analyses, reports, and platform services.
How it works
1. Join a Company
After registration, each user joins an existing or newly created Company to activate the full workflow.
2. Customer → Project → Assessment
This structure enables the creation of a Pre-Assessment report showing potential exoskeleton support.
3. Upload motion data
Motion capture files can be uploaded directly to the Assessment. MVN files are automatically converted to MVNX.
4. Generate reports
The system produces detailed PDF reports describing biomechanical load reduction provided by exoskeletons.
CTAG – TIE Model Equivalence Statement
The official Equivalence Test Statement issued by CTAG confirms that the TIE model reliably predicts the reduction of mechanical energy demand corresponding to the decrease in metabolic energy expenditure during exoskeleton-assisted tasks.
CTAG - Ergonomic Torque Equivalence Statement
This equivalence statement confirms that joint-torque–based ergonomic risk assessment provides a reliable and objective representation of postural load for both assisted and unassisted movements, enabling consistent evaluation of musculoskeletal risk across different working conditions.
