Yuri ChekalinSerial production of the most powerful exoskeletons has been launched in Russia.
The exoskeletons were developed by order of one of the largest industrial enterprises in the country. Today, the devices have no analogues in Russia and are produced from domestic components.
It is reported that less than three months passed from the trial sample to serial assembly. The exoskeleton is equipped with a winch for lifting loads weighing up to 60 kg. It not only enhances a person’s capabilities in production, but also reduces physical strain, helping to avoid sprains and injuries.
Let us recall: an exoskeleton is a technological mechanism designed to restore lost human functions, as well as to enhance their muscular abilities. Modern models can increase strength several times or give the joy of movement to an almost paralyzed person.
Such exoskeletons can be useful in various fields. In particular, they are used in mechanical engineering, construction and repair of heavy equipment, when moving heavy shafts and units. Where it is impossible to completely abandon manual labor. It is reported that the company has begun developing lightweight models. They will be launched into production in the fall of 2024.
Did you know that the first exoskeleton mechanism was designed by the Russian self-taught inventor Nikolai Ferdinandovich Yagn back in 1889? The device, called “elastiped”, was a system of springs and pistons that was attached to a person using elastic belts.
According to Yagna’s idea, when bending the limbs while walking, the springs were supposed to accumulate energy and give the body additional momentum.
“Rusnano” has launched serial production of the most powerful exoskeletons in the country.
Exoskeletons are futuristic in nature, having been featured throughout science fiction, and would be popular with people, regardless of their utility.
