yber-centaurs are here: Chinese engineers unveil a clip-on “robot butt”
Chinese engineers have presented an exoskeleton that attaches to the waist and hips to help carry heavy backpacks. The device can take on 30–50% of the load, assisting with up to 15–30 kg of weight.
The person walks normally and navigates the terrain, while the mechanical unit behind them pushes the user forward and relieves strain on the back and legs, especially during climbs or long hikes.
Developers say the system could be useful for hikers, rescue workers, and the military.
