Powerful Robotic Exoskeleton Arms Can Lift 220 Pounds
Designed by Panasonic subsidiary Activelink, the "Dual Arm Amplification Robot" weighs 500 pounds, and allows the user to lift 220 pounds with the flick of a wrist. Activelink hopes their power loader will eventually lift heavy loads in industrial and disaster-relief situations.
The so-called “Power Loader” suit — which takes its name from the fictional hydraulic exoskeleton suit appearing in the sci-fi classic “Aliens” — is built on an aluminum-alloy frame.
Described as a “dual-arm power amplification robot,” the exoskeleton suit is currently equipped with 18 electromagnetic motors that enable the wearer to lift 220 pounds with little effort.
