A leap in affordability and power to weight ratio with Fabric Pneumatic Exoskeleton Technology
by noreply@blogger.com (brian wang) from NextBigFuture.com on (#29W3T)
Roam Robotics wants to create light and affordable exoskeletons that will be usable by a lot of people for everyday use.
They are developing a new generation of robotic orthotics that are constructed entirely out of fabric. These devices omit the rigid materials used in traditional exoskeleton designs for inflatable structures using high-strength fabrics to greatly reduce part count and costs without sacrificing performance. The resulting orthotics systems provide power to weight ratios that are unmatched by existing exoskeleton systems at a fraction of the cost.
