How does the exoskeleton prevent you from falling over when you pick up or hold a 500 lbs weight at arms length?
It seems like this would be a major factor when center of gravity shifts as it does not compensate for it.
- stcredzero 15y agoThe exoskeleton is supposed to follow your movements, so you'll shift your center of gravity in the same way you normally pick up a 50 or 100 lb weight without the exo. If the added mass of the exoskeleton isn't enough to let you compensate through such repositioning, then you won't lift the 500 lbs. This thing is designed to augment strength and reduce fatigue, not grant omnipotent lifting. (Smaller people like me tend to better understand the effect of advantageous positioning to reduce fatigue and better leverage what you can move and lift. Yes, one can actually use one's brain to do more physical labor.)
