On the day of the press conference, the Ekso walking robot was the subject of various regional and national news broadcasts. For example, ZDF showed a two-minute contribution in its lunchtime programme “heute in deutschland” and repeated the feature in its “wochenjournal”. Sat1 also presented the device in a two-minute feature in the evening. Deutschlandfunk and on the next day Bayern 2 also reported on the Ekso.
Articles about the robot appeared promptly in both the print and online editions of leading trade and consumer magazines such as Ärztezeitung, Handelsblatt, BILD, Münchner Merkur, Süddeutsche Zeitung and Stern. In addition, the trade magazine Orthopädie & Rheuma published a three-page article in its November/December issue. Freizeit Aktuell in December featured the technology more from the human perspective.
