3rd-gen Multi-joint Textile Wearable Robot

Bionic Suit Full

Waist, shoulder and elbow multi-joint textile wearable robot

World's first — waist, shoulder and elbow assisted simultaneously

One suit assists the waist, shoulder and elbow at the same time. It weighs under 2 kg including battery and controller, and Fabric Muscle contracts to help all three joints together. If hip and knee assistance is also needed, it is reviewed together with Bionic Suit Lower, which is in development.
