Video: Robot shirt helps lift 100kg
Italian engineers have recently successfully built a robotic shirt that can help wearers lift about 50kg in each hand.
Popsi said, this is a robot designed with the purpose of helping users to grasp or lift heavy objects that normal people cannot or cannot do. Robots are manufactured by researchers of the Percro Robot Laboratory in San Giuliano Terme, in the province of Pisa of Italy.
The researchers say each robot arm will help the wearer lift the weight of 50kg. Robots can also move and mimic human actions such as walking, moving arms, handling hand-operated objects or hook parts.
With this capability, the robot will be used in factory operations or in rescue operations in earthquakes or natural disasters.
