Exoskeleton pilot project shows positive results::undefined

it has been shown that the MATE-XT upper limb exoskeleton and the MATE-XB lumbar device can reduce users’ effort by up to 30 percent
I guess every little bit helps, but I thought they’d be shooting for something like 50+% at least
Hey, a 30% increase is the difference between carrying a 100 pound load in my arms and a 70 pound load. I’d definitely want that bonus at my stagehand job, it’d make carpentry more bearable. Especially given how weak I am in general.
A 30% increase from 70 is 91lb, a 30% decrease from 100 is 70.
I think that’s the point, it makes a 100lb load feel like 70lb
Yee, like I was saying. If I’m supposed to carry a 100 pound object, say a section of stage, having 30 pounds of that offloaded would make the task that much easier and bearable.
Management will say that they if they can offload 30% then we can increase the weight carried by the employee by 40%.
Yeah and that would reduce injuries a good amount too.
Especially if it aided in static lift. Think of if it could lock your arm overhead, so that 20lbs item’s weight is on your shoulders instead of your arms.
I just want to be able to sit wherever I am without there having to be chairs around.
This is actually a thing:
Never knew I wanted this. I’ll add it to the list of cyborg enhancements I’d be okay with, like camera eyes, a thumb drive thumb and deployable roller skate feet.
It’ll look dorky af though
I’m well past trying to look cool. Just wanna sit haha
Chair pants!
One step closer to Armored Core
