This waist-assist exoskeleton is designed for industrial use, providing strong support for lumbar-intensive tasks to reduce injury risks and improve efficiency. It features hand-carry, load-balancing, and lumbar assist modules. The hand-carry module allows quick, stable handling with adjustable settings, while the load-balancing module shifts weight from arms to legs. The assist module uses an internal motor to analyze force and deliver up to 30 kg of support, with over 4 hours of battery life. Weighing only 5.5 kg, it is lightweight, compact, and can be donned or doffed in under a minute, ensuring comfort and convenience.
