LIFESUIT Exoskeleton 155lb lift tetsujin test Monty Reed

LIFESUIT Exoskeleton 155lb lift tetsujin test Monty Reed prepping for Robogames 2007
This video is of the exoskeleton SAPERGO known as LIFESUIT 13B outfited with upper body support for Firefighters and paralyzed. This video was taken in the Shoreline Lab of They Shall Walk located in the North Seattle area. For more info www theyshallwalk org We did a 150 pound lift. I give all credit for the exosuit invention to Robert Heinlein because of his explanation and description in the book Starship Troopers.

efarstan,

Thanks for the comment. The Bill and Melinda Gates foundation just turned us down again last week. Maybe, if people wrote to them they would reconsider?

more like a body mounted forklift rather then an exoskeleton, still pretty cool though

"This LIFESUIT exoskeleton will have a paralyzed person walking in 2008" id like to see that

[mikedjamotsky]

idea

[mikedjamotsky]

if possible make an exoskeleton that a sevearly paralized person will not have to transfer to because the person is way to sevearly paralized

[KottonmouthSoldiers]

this is epic! although, reading these comments, it must be pretty tough to a job so fundamental with so little good feedback; daunted by the HAL and XOS. no one respects true ingenuity!

[microbeast139]

he just made a man anchored hoist.

Why not just pick it up with your hands? It's only 155 lbs. You wife probably weighs more than that!?

[imranbmw]

Thanks for the comment. If you are interested in lifting 450 or 1400 you may want to check out the "Rescue Suit" we are building for the robogames 2010.
