Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania in the engineering department built a robotic hand that can help the wearer to lift extra 18 pounds.
The Titan Arm looks like something out of a sci-fi movie, but its creators say it's designed for ordinary people who need extra muscle power for work them or for physical rehabilitation.
In technical terms, the device is an attachable exoskeleton for the arm. In simple language, είναι ουσιαστικά ένα στήριγμα βραχίονα που συνδέεται με μια battery which is in a backpack.
The project is based on existing body equipment studies. ” Several companies investigations have built exoskeletons that assist paralyzed people, although current models are not approved for retail and can cost anywhere from $50.000 to as much as $100.000,” according to Huffington Post.
The final product you will see in the video below costs less than 2.000 dollars.
