The guy should pivot in place, bend at the knees, grab the handles, stand, and then pivot in place. It’s like people decided to invent a power suit because they forgot how to use their feet.
- kadoban 5y agoI'm sure they know that. I believe it's just an issue with the demo/test though, there's other situations more difficult to avoid.
- goda90 5y agoDo that 200 times in a row and the extra movements start to add up.
- yepguy 5y agoI'm highly skeptical of the twisting motion they seem to be encouraging here, which is normally just asking to be injured. I guess it would depend on how much their exosuit actually helps with that. As far as bending at the knees though, you should read Why You SHOULD Use Your Back as a Crane[1].

- LanceH 5y agoSo they've built something to assist where the body is at it's weakest... The point is that this is a realistic movement people can find themselves doing and this is research into making that better/safer. In complete isolation, this might be completely replaced by different lifting technique. But what about in cramped quarters where turning isn't easy, or with an awkward object? What about in combination with other devices which make the body strong along another axis?
