Unveiled at CES 2017, the Hyundai exoskeleton suits aim to be a supportive way for those who work in factories as well as those who are paraplegics to receive support.
Consisting of three models including the H-WEX, the H-MEX and the HUMA, the Hyundai exoskeletons are each intended to be worn on the body in order to maximize stability for users.
The H-WEX was created with the factory worked in mind with a design that sits on the upper body and hip area in order to make heavy lifting easier. The H-MEX is designed for paraplegics to help users regain mobility after accidents or those who have lost their mobility due to other health reasons. The HUMA is specially designed for those with a weak body such as the elderly in order to make it possible to regain mobility.
Key Themes Behind This Trend
- Supportive Exoskeleton Suits
- Exoskeleton suits for factory workers, paraplegics, and the elderly are examples of supportive exoskeleton suits.
- Maximizing Stability in Exoskeletons
- Exoskeleton suits aim to maximize stability with designs that sit on the upper body and hip area.
- Exoskeletons for Mobility and Health
- Exoskeleton suits are being designed for paraplegics, the elderly and those with a weak body in order to help them regain mobility and independence.
Where This Applies
- Manufacturing
- Exoskeleton suits designed to make heavy lifting easier can revolutionize safety and efficiency in manufacturing industries.
- Healthcare
- Exoskeleton suits designed to help paraplegics and those with a weak body can revolutionize mobility devices in the healthcare industry.
- Aerospace
- Exoskeleton suits can be adapted for use in space exploration and colonization, improving astronaut mobility and reducing the risk of muscle atrophy during extended missions.
