The Powered Suit Skeletonics

A small team of Japanese Engineering Students made this project called Skeletonics, a hybrid words "skeleton" and "mechanics". The purpose is to extend the movement of the human arms and legs without the aid of any motors. The whole suit is made of aluminum sheets and pipes. The advantage of this passive design over the active exoskeleton is the significant reduction of weight and complexity from motors and software. It took up to six months to complete as a basic working unit.

Here is the related video for you to see the basic sketches. Unfortunately, specifications as well as their website are written in Japanese. The use of the Google translate is a little help for you to see the specific details. Anyway, the video below is pretty awesome and hope you will enjoy watching this.



Thnak you for reading and watching!
