Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Robotic exoskeletons have captivated us for years. They are major tropes in sci-fi movies and video games, and in real-life engineers have been working on them since the 1900s. San Francisco's Roam Robotics has entered into this space, and Brent Rose tries his hand at stress testing their latest military leg brace.

I'm tired of not asking people about this idea I have that just came to me while watching these types of videos. In this video he even says in the beginning they have been building prototypes since the early 1900's. I'm starting to think this is what the Sasquatch/Big foot suite/costume is made out of that the military has. That's how they move quickly and are always undetected, Like a super fast camouflaged sniper solder. Training out there as well as scaring people back to the city life. Idk just thoughts.

reducing force on thighs and knees is all about center of gravity and weight distribution. Yet they have achieved some thing great this can be applied to senior citizens struggling to walk with knee pains, this is a big deal even in medical industry and can be turned into daily wearable like shoes and gloves.
reply

Idea: put a steel shank under the arch of the foot where most shoes have that gap between heel and sole (especially combat boots) and it has a swivel hinge type part next to the ankle and connect the leg to the ankle part to reduce strain on the ankles as you have said the ankles have some strain

Elysium is the best design. We amateur dropouts tried making it for 4 years and the only thing we can't get are military grade computer chips. Old chips aren't enough to power the thing but now that advanced chips are fitted on cars and new gadgets, we can't possibly get it for a cheap price.

This is cool, but i gotta tell ya you wont sell 1 of those to the military. the military turned down softbank because of the noise. as long as that robotic knee is louder than a silent human knee, the military would rather just injure their humans and keep the silent capability
reply

I might be wrong but I seem to remember I heard that testing of these types of exoskeletons concluded that the strain and wear on the body was simply transferred to other joints and muscle groups, thus leading to no net profit in use?
reply

I-m not entirely convinced these things will every be fully functional (like actually assisting running, or working for complex arm movements) without being able to read either nerve signals in the limb or brain signals.
reply

So special forces soldiers trying to sneak inside an enemy's territory can't use this?
Edit: Okay I see that they can just turn it off. But I think that the Mawashi exoskeleton is better for it.

This plus composite armor, using STF and the correct ceramics, one could make a decent suit of ballistic armor that weighs less than a steel suit of armor with up to 10 times the ballistic strength

I have built in my garage a tungsten weaved fibrous material that-s placed threw electromagnet and Ferris / hydraulic fluid, I need to adapt it too a gyro balance system
