Construction Exoskeleton By Ekso Bionics

electrical engineering services

The construction industry and the players in this space have benefited tremendously from technological advancement, as with the introduction of new construction tools, their workload has reduced and capacity to carry various operation has enhanced. Without a doubt that technology has deteriorated human efforts and made our lives lazy and less meaningful. But what we need to understand in this so-called techie world is that how well we can utilize technology to our advantage and in what capacity.

How we understand the right approach towards using technology in this generation is by looking at professionals in the construction industry, who have a holistic understanding in this construction space. Their proactive approach in making use of highly advanced construction tools has added variety to their work and resulted in better prospects.

Talking about highly advanced construction tools, you may have seen the movie called “Iron man” or may have heard the term called “Suit-up”. What’s the reason to mention these terms in this capacity, is because this robot like a metal suit, called Exoskeleton has been specially invented for our construction players to contribute strikingly at their job sites.

Ekso Bionics has developed and manufactured powered exoskeleton bionic devices that can be strapped on as wearable robots to enhance the strength, mobility, and endurance of construction workers and paraplegics. This fancy high tech is used by construction workers to lift heavy objects and prevents spinal injuries for the same.

The construction industry will now be a step ahead in utilizing technology with this robotic suit that mirrors the wearer’s internal skeletal structure.

Benefits of Exoskeleton suit: 

  • This fancy high tech is used by construction workers to lift heavy objects and prevents them from spinal injuries for the same.
  • One of the most attractive reasons for people to buy this metal suit is because of its falling prices. The Chairless chair and Ekso work vest sell for about $5,000 each, far less than the type of full-body suits that aids paraplegics in walking.
  • Improves workers efficiency and reduces strain in working for long hours.

The developers have specialized in bringing different types of Exoskeleton suits that target different body parts in operating at construction sites.

Here are two types of the most important exoskeleton suits that fall in this broad category: 

Mounted Arm Exosuit 

This type of Exosuit is composed of a spring-loaded arm that enables workers to hold heavy tools on one end and is connected to a lower-body exoskeleton and counterweight. The mounted arm exosuit usually contains only one joint, which is sufficient to provide weight support.

Back support Exosuit 

The back support exosuit help labors as they bend down to lift heavy objects and make sure they are lifting in the right manner. This type of metal suit maintains labor’s body posture and also prevents them from injuries, that involve gruesome tasks.

Technostruct have been improvising on their technology for many years to provide better services for their clients. Their expertise and erudite knowledge in this field has helped them to work and contribute significantly in bringing quantifiable results.
