Superhero Mimicking Robot Suits

This Robotic Suit Allows Wearers to Feel Super Powerful

— February 3, 2014 — Tech
A portable robot suit is still quite awhile away for citizen use, but just because we can't get a personal one yet doesn't mean the robotics world isn't hard at work. This robot suit allows users to power through basis tasks with super human efficiency.

Activelink plans to mass-produce its suit called the power-labor suit and sell it to the masses for $5,000 a piece. The robot suit allows users to move at enhanced speed and lift things much heavier than they would typically be able to. The suits are quite bulky so being able to walk around outside with them may be a little bit farther down the line, but given the fact that these things can make you feel super powerful, they'll definitely have their uses.
Trend Themes
1. Robotics Suits for Enhanced Performance - The development of robotic suits that enhance human physical abilities presents opportunities for industries focused on physical labor, such as construction and logistics, to increase productivity and efficiency.
2. Mass Production of Portable Robot Suits - The mass production and commercialization of portable robot suits at an affordable price point, like the power-labor suit by Activelink, opens up opportunities for industries related to healthcare and rehabilitation to provide advanced solutions for patients with physical disabilities.
3. Improved Mobility and Strength Through Robot Suits - The advancement in robot suits that provide enhanced mobility and strength capabilities enables industries involved in military and defense to explore disruptive innovation opportunities in soldier support systems and exoskeleton technology.
Industry Implications
1. Construction - The construction industry can leverage robot suits to improve worker productivity and safety, allowing for faster completion of projects and the handling of heavier materials.
2. Logistics - In the logistics industry, the use of robot suits can help workers in handling heavy packages and increasing the speed and efficiency of warehouse operations, reducing the risk of injuries and improving overall productivity.
3. Healthcare - Robot suits can revolutionize the healthcare industry by providing advanced solutions for physical rehabilitation, allowing patients with limited mobility to regain independence and improve their quality of life.
