The Body Extender is an anthropomorphic robotic device that can be worn by the operator and assist, in unstructured environment, the operator movement of the upper and lower limbs during the handling of heavy loads, 'lighten' through a real-time control system (EHPA - exoskeletons for Human Performance Augmentation).
Possible applications are:
Signo Motus has been involved in the design and manufacture of the Body Extender robotic legs, whose main characteristics are listed below:
