Toby Knisely is the Head of Global Strategy at Hypershell, a wearable robotics company pioneering consumer exoskeletons. He has spent the past decade in China working at the intersection of technology, product innovation, and global markets, helping bring leading Chinese technologies to international audiences. Toby holds a bachelor’s degree in Cognitive Science from Yale University, where he focused on how humans perceive, adapt, and interact with intelligent systems. His work centers on expanding human mobility and redefining how robotics and AI integrate with everyday life.
At BRIDGE Summit, Toby will share Hypershell’s vision for the future of movement and how exoskeletons are evolving from niche industrial tools into intuitive companions that extend human ability. He will explore how intelligent robotics can amplify what people can do, where they can go, and how they live—with a focus on designing technology that does good, not just looks cool.
