Some machines look impressive on screen. Exosapien’s mech looks unreal even in person.
Built in British Columbia, this towering, human-piloted exoskeleton feels like a real-life Transformer — not a concept render, not CGI, but a machine you can actually climb into and control with your body.
Known as Prosthesis, it’s widely recognized as the world’s largest human-controlled mech. And trying it is an experience that permanently recalibrates your sense of scale.
Piloting Exosapien isn’t like driving a vehicle — it’s more like becoming one. Your movements translate directly into massive mechanical limbs beneath you. Every step is deliberate. Every motion feels powerful, slightly intimidating, and completely unforgettable. We quickly realized that piloting the cockpit was far more challenging than it first appeared. What the creator made look effortless required intense coordination — the kind of disorientation you might imagine waking up one day with two extra arms and having to learn how to use them.
It’s loud. It’s heavy. And it’s astonishingly human in how it responds. This isn’t automation — it’s amplification.
To help tell Exosapien’s story, we contributed assets designed to convey the sheer magnitude of the machine:
The goal was simple: make people feel what it’s like to experience the sheer strength and capabilities of this behemoth.
Exosapien began as an ambitious engineering challenge: could a person safely and intuitively control a multi-ton walking machine? Years of development, demos, and public trials later, the answer is clearly yes.
Rather than hiding behind closed doors, the team has consistently brought the mech into the real world — showcasing it at events, inviting pilots to try it, and slowly turning a sci-fi idea into something tangible.
One of the most exciting details for us personally is that Exosapien is based in the same province as our head office. Seeing a machine of this scale and ambition being built practically in our backyard makes the project feel even more special.
It’s not often that world-first technology feels this local.
Exosapien isn’t a future promise. It’s already walking. And whether you see it as the beginning of mech sports, industrial exoskeletons, or just one of the most ambitious machines ever built — it’s proof that some sci-fi ideas don’t stay fictional forever.
