A famous car manufacturer continues to work on the creation of the exoskeleton. Previously, the company already presented the first prototype, which is a back support module and two robonova.
Last week, the company showed a revised version. It has undergone significant changes: the exosuit covers most of the body of the operator, still allowing you to carry heavy weights, and, it is supposed, will be able to help people who cannot move independently, to get back on their feet. However, the clumsiness and awkwardness continue to be the major deficiencies that were noted by the audience during the screening of the exoskeleton. Issues caused and is not very convenient claws that are equipped with his hands. Despite this, the device is honorably fulfilled its duties, allowing the operator to carry loads in excess of its weight several times.
The device is called H-LEX and as the developers say, can help the user to carry the load to 50 pounds on your back, while lifting her weight hundreds of pounds.
A large part of electronics is located to the rear of the device, and his feet and hands are also far from perfect, so to use such a device in the home is still quite problematic. So the developers continue to work, constantly perfecting the exoskeleton. To name approximate cost and date of appearance of H-Lex in the sale, the company is also not in a hurry. Wait more advanced closest to the reality of prototypes. And maybe in a couple years and go for a ride!
