A hiking exoskeleton to try in store at Haglöfs: 2.58 kg and 6 to 7 hours of battery life
Chinese start-up ULS Robotics has launched VIATRIX X, a consumer exoskeleton for walking and hiking, 36Kr Japan reports.
To win over customers, the company has teamed up with Swedish outdoor brand Haglöfs. Trial areas have been set up in its stores, where shoppers can put the device on before buying it.
The device weighs 2.58 kg without its battery. It runs for 6 to 7 hours, and the battery is easy to swap.
A “boost” mode increases assistance on climbs or when carrying a load. As the battery runs low, the device gradually limits its peak power so that it can keep providing basic support.
According to 36Kr Japan, cost, price and the effectiveness of sales channels remain to be proven before these devices reach the general public.
