Just in time maybe for the 2021 Holy Year?
Imagine if you had a magical pair of trousers that made your backpack feel just that bit lighter, or that preserved the fluid joint movements of your youth as you age.
This is slowly becoming a reality.
In a study published Thursday in the Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, researchers at Harvard University lay out their latest updates on an exosuit that they’ve been working on for the last two years.
“The aim is to develop wearable robots that can augment the performance of healthy individuals by reducing their energy expenditure when walking with heavy loads,” said Conor Walsh, study co-author and an associate professor of engineering and applied sciences at Harvard, over email.
The exosuit is made up of a waist belt, two thigh pieces, and two calf straps. Cables connect these to two motors mounted on a backpack. The suit activates when the wearer starts walking, transferring energy from the motors via the cables to the wearer, and putting an extra spring in their step. The researchers envision that it could be used in military, medical, and recreational applications.
