Thanks to this exoskeleton, you will be able to move very easily on any type of surface, thanks to its various modes of transformation.
So far they have been created crowd of exoskeletons They are helping professionals from different fields and even people with mobility problems to achieve their goals, but in general, we are talking about heavy, slow and expensive devices, available to very few people.
Another of the difficulties of the exoskeletons that we know so far, is that they are unable, for example, to go up and down stairs with great ease or go through difficult-to-access environments, but things could change with this new advance.
Now Atoun, the Japanese subsidiary of Panasonic, has been able to create a futuristic exoskeleton that can be transformed into a kind of motorized buggy. This suit is called Koma 1.5 and in addition to lifting heavy objects, he is able at the same time to use his wheels to aid his progress.
But the grace is the “Buggy mode” where the user can use two small platforms and use the device as a kind of two-legged electric scooter. Then with the “two-leg mode” on the other hand you can use the device to go up and down stairs.
While they haven’t shown it in the video, the dev team also claims that this exoskeleton is able to detect and avoid obstacles automatically.
Although the robot seems somewhat clumsy when it comes to climbing stairs, it may be the only way we have to access some type of enclosure with which it can end up being really useful.
At the moment it is an exoskeleton in development with which we do not know if it will finally end up going on sale so that it is available to large companies or professionals from different fields.
