  For us, for example, when squatting or bending down, when holding the goods, there are more arms or waists or legs, so this auxiliary force will make us feel relaxed, let us feel Be comfortable.

  It is obvious when the heavy machine port carries heavy goods, it will have a certain degree of stretch when bending down. Strong protection of waist and wrist.

  [Explanation] According to the introduction of any Donghui, the owner of the treasury room of China Southern’s Daxing cargo station, mechanical exoskeleton equipment can effectively reduce the work pressure of first-line tallymen, which is helpful to improve their work efficiency. In addition, mechanical exoskeleton equipment can also play a protective role against occupational diseases common in the handling industry.

  In the industry of handling, its common work-related injuries and occupational diseases are strains on the waist. With the aid of this machine, it has an obvious protective effect on the waist of our employees. It prevents the occupational diseases, including prolonging the worker’s working hours and enhancing his work. Ability all plays a certain auxiliary role.

  [Commentary] Li Chunxiao, an assistant professor at Antai College of Economics and Management, Shanghai Jiaotong University, said in an interview with a reporter from China News Service that the mechanical exoskeleton equipment disperses gravity to the ground through the structure. The main purpose is to enhance the strength and endurance of limb movements.

  This "mecha delivery" actually uses a nail-powered exoskeleton, which is a wearable mobile machine, which is mainly composed of an electric motor that provides power, as well as pneumatic devices, hydraulic control levers, etc. A system. The main purpose is to enhance the strength and endurance of limb movements. Under this "Mecha delivery" scenario, the exoskeleton robot has actually dispersed gravity to the ground through the structure, so the weight of the exoskeleton itself has no effect. This exoskeleton will move with the person, and then help the person when carrying the cargo.

  [Commentary] Li Chunxiao introduced that the mechanical exoskeleton technology in the world is still in its infancy. In the future, as the technology continues to mature, mechanical exoskeleton equipment will also play a greater role, bringing changes to people's lives and work scenarios.

  The mechanical exoskeleton is actually a series of ability enhancements around people, so in the middle of this popularization process, slowly we should see that in the life services, such as express delivery, takeaway brother, such as mountaineering, Exercise fitness, moving house, etc. For example, in the middle of an industrial scenario, it will be more suitable for a flexible manufacturing demand, such as factory manufacturing, logistics supply chain, and construction. In terms of civilian use, fire rescue is definitely a very important part.
