Robots, Next Labor Helper?

Robots are playing very healthy part in various industries, restaurants, departmental stores, automobiles industry and many other such places. The accuracy of the work performed by robots is nearly 99%. Therefore one tends to employ robot instead of human being. Robots can perform number of sophisticated tasks which human being may not perform, above all the accuracy rate. Even in restaurants trials of robots have started successfully.

Employees at a Lowe's ironmongery store in Christiansburg, Virginia, recently channeled Ellen Ripley within the 1986 moving picture "Aliens," as they donned mechanical exoskeletons to assist them to elevate and move serious objects.

The wearable robotic suits that area unit considerably lighter and fewer cumbersome than the self-propelled vehicle with legs that Ripley wore to defeat the queen were developed in partnership with the helpful AI Laboratory at Virginia technical school of Engineering and Lowe's Innovation Labs. They were designed to cut back fatigue within the work caused by transporting outsized and hulking product, Virginia technical school representatives aforementioned in a very statement.

The suit is worn over regular garments, skirting the user over the shoulders, and around the chest, waist, and thighs. Carbon fiber within the back and legs of the exosite store energy once the user's bend down. That energy is then fed back because the users draw up, very much like a stretched cord transmits energy once discharged, to send flying. This implies that someone sporting the robotic suit must exert less effort to accomplish bound effortful tasks, like lifting and carrying a bag of concrete.

In-store tests with Lowe's staff provided associate degree exciting and rare likelihood for the suit's engineers to attach directly with users and see its real-world applications because it was being developed, co-designer Taylor Pesek, a degree candidate in engineering at Virginia technical school, aforesaid during a statement.
