SALT LAKE CITY & BELLEVUE, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Today, Sarcos
Robotics, a global leader in robotic systems that augment, rather
than replace, humans working in the industrial, public safety and
military sectors, announced that it has been awarded a contract by the
United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) to deliver a
pre-production version of its Guardian™ XO® (“XO”) full-body,
autonomously powered robotic exoskeleton. The XO is capable of operating

per hour and carrying up to 200 pounds of payload. With the ability to
“hot swap” rechargeable batteries in the field, XO run-time is
essentially unlimited.

The USSOCOM XO contract follows Sarcos’ recent announcements regarding
collaborations with both the U.S.
Air Force and the U.S.
Navy to develop and evaluate variations of the Guardian™ XO®
for use cases specific to these services. With 17 years of development
efforts and more than $175 million invested in R&D, Sarcos has been
laser-focused on ensuring the Guardian XO Max is safe, intuitive and
power efficient. Sarcos recently shared significant
power and performance enhancements to the XO, including significant
