‘Robo-suit’ lets man lift 100kg – BBC News
Engineers in Italy have developed a wearable robot which can enable users to lift up to 50kg in each extended hand. It could be developed to work in factories or to clear debris and rescue survivors in earthquake zones, they say.
The “body extender” has been built by the Perceptual Robotics Laboratory (Percro) at Pisa’s Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna.
The exoskeleton is one of many being developed around the world for manufacturing, therapeutic and military purposes.
Percro’s Fabio Salsedo demonstrates how the machine works.
Atlas Update
| LOL… Humanoid robot walks and than gets hit with a Looney Tunes weight. Atlas is an anthropomorphic robot designed to operate on rough terrain. The video shows Atlas balancing as it walks on rocky terrain and when pushed from the side. The balance and control system places the feet and swings the arms and upper body to stay upright. The controller uses inertial, kinematic and load data from Atlas’s sensors. Atlas is being developed by Boston Dynamics with funding from DARPA’s M3 program.
