  1. The U.S. FDA has cleared a self-balancing exoskeleton for wheelchair users with spinal cord injuries. This will allow them to walk hands-free on level surfaces. This should be commercially available in the U.S this September.

  2. TUM researchers developed a system that enables safe #HumanRobotCollaboration using an #Exoskeleton and a #cobot. The approach can reduce physical strain in factory tasks while supporting flexible production processes: go.tum.de/785702

  3. 1967. GE built a powered exoskeleton. 🦾💪

    Hardiman. Hydraulic. Amplified strength 25x. Could lift a car (or close to it).

    The catch? It weighed 680kg (1,500 lbs). The full version would have topped 1,000kg. Too heavy. Too ahead of its time.

    Never deployed. But it proved the core tech: hydraulics, force feedback.

    The Iron Man prototype from the analog era.

  4. #QuizOfTheDay: An #Exoskeleton is the external skeleton that supports and protects an animal's body, in contrast to the internal skeleton (endoskeleton).

    Which animals have both an endoskeleton and an exoskeleton?

    A. Human
    B. Tortoise
    C. Grasshoppers
    D. Snakes

  5. Unique Anime Exoskeletons | A.M. Suit (Spriggan, 1998)

    > What if an exoskeleton didn’t rely on cold machinery… but synced directly with your nervous system?Released on September 5, 1998, Spriggan.

    Maybe that was the template for the power armor called Mjǫllnir in the Halo Series that the main protagonist namely Master Chief 117 is wearing and works in the same way. 🤔😁

  6. did you know there are already passive-elastic and powered exoskeletons that you can buy to help you lift heavier stuff?

    we looked into it at work a while ago and gave the logistics folks in the warehouse a bunch of these, I figured the fediverse needed to hear about the existence of these because I hadn't really realized they already existed in industrial and well tested widely used forms

  7. Ukraine becomes the first military in the world to deploy exoskeleton technologies on the battlefield.

    Artillery crews need to lift heavy shells all day. They now get locally developed exoskeletons reducing muscle load by 30%.

    Ps. Experimental US army exoskeletons cost hundreds of thousands. Ukraine’s system costs a couple of thousand.

  8. #KnowledgeByte: An #Exosuit, often used interchangeably with #Exoskeleton, is a wearable, external device that supports, augments, or enhances the user's physical capabilities, motion, or posture through mechanical interaction and force application to the body.

  9. China has successfully created its first exoskeleton robot system specifically designed for complex mine environments, marking a significant step toward "human-machine collaborative" rescue operations.

  10. I keep hearing about some site called #Moltbook. Is this the sort of content that should be posted there?

  12. Forget fancy peripherals, Kojima Productions just dropped a *Death Stranding 2* co-branded exoskeleton! This Dnsys Z1 isn't just for show, it's engineered to offload 200% of your body weight from your knees. Finally, you can carry that mountain of tech debt without back pain.

    Is this the ultimate "game immersion," or just a really expensive way to avoid squats?

  13. Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed an innovative hand #Exoskeleton that helps persons after #Stroke re-learn how to grasp. Its accordion-like structure makes it light, robust and easy to integrate into everyday life. ethz.ch/en/news-and-...

  14. #SciArtSeptember Day 5: Skeleton

    A cicada exuvia, which is an exoskeleton and fully belongs on Day 5.

    Full disclosure: I already posted it on my previous instance, but I really like this picture.

  15. 🦾 When we’re healthy, activities like walking, sitting down, speaking and remembering things can be done with ease. But if an accident or illness impairs our physical or cognitive capabilities, such everyday tasks can become difficult or even impossible. Researchers are working to develop systems that can help patients regain lost physical abilities.

  16. Open-source exoskeleton aims to close disability divide scidev.net/global/news/open-so

    Currently, the cost of medical exoskeletons — ranging from around few thousand US dollars to over US00,000 for more sophisticated devices — remains prohibitive for people in need in low- and middle-income countries.

  17. Always wanted to crank out 10 pull-ups on easy mode? Meet OpenExo – an open-source modular #exoskeleton you can build yourself.

    🦾 doi.org/10.1126/scirobotics.ad

    All the code, schematics, 3D models, and control algorithms are freely available at theopenexo.org

    Starting at $2,000, with up to 35 minutes of runtime, OpenExo supports multiple setups: hip assistance for inclines, ankle support for running, multijoint load carriage, or elbow aid for lifting.
