Robo-Mate Takes the Weight Off Industrial Workers

Jun-26-15 The Robo-Mate exoskeleton hopes to lighten the load for industrial workers with its lift-assist that cuts the weight of objects by 90 percent.

Material handling is one of the most common operations in the industrial industry, and the task is still mostly carried out by human workers. To help alleviate the toll such work can take on the body, the Robo-Mate intelligent exoskeleton was developed specifically for use in industry, and does not require any specific task programming—making it applicable across a wide range of operations. The Robo-Mate consists of a series of modules that fit the wearer’s arms, legs and trunk, where it offers extra support and takes some of the stresses off the muscles and helps prevent injuries.
