German Bionic's new Apogee exosuit is a wearable device that takes technology beyond the traditional wrist-bound devices and puts it on the hips and over the shoulders. The exosuit is an updated version of the company's Cray X exoskeleton, which was showcased at CES last year.
It is designed for commercial use and helps workers complete physical tasks without straining their bodies. The Apogee exosuit can offset up to 66 pounds of load per lifting motion and reduces fatigue by providing walking assistance.
The Apogee is the lightest exosuit developed by German Bionic and is designed to be worn for long periods of time without hindering the worker. It is equipped with IO architecture that constantly collects and analyses data about the worker's activity while wearing the suit. The data is then used to provide feedback via the onboard display or audio alerts when unsafe movements are detected.
Unfortunately, the Apogee exosuit will only be available in warehouses and other commercial settings. However, it could potentially be used in other industries, such as construction, manufacturing, and logistics, to reduce the physical strain on workers.
The exosuit could also be beneficial for individuals with disabilities or chronic back pain. The Apogee exosuit is a promising development in wearable technology that has the potential to revolutionize the way we work.
