At a manufacturing plant of Germany’s Fischer in Waldachtal, Baden-Württemberg, Germany, several local employees are wearing exoskeleton robots to transport large parts. These wearable robots were developed by Shanghai AoS Intelligence Technology Co., Ltd. They can cover the upper limbs, waist, lower limbs and other parts of the human body, and through AI algorithms, they help users to easily lift heavy objects. This ensures the physical safety of the user while significantly improving production efficiency.
According to Zhang Hua, marketing director of AoS Intelligence, German manufacturing factories have a very high automation rate, but in non-standardized production processes such as assembly, full automation has not yet been achieved. Exoskeleton robots are a means of supporting these production processes.
According to Markus Keller, a relationship manager at Fischer, exoskeleton robots can solve real-world problems such as heavy workloads and high work difficulty, greatly improving our work efficiency. Compared with similar products, AoSmart’s exoskeleton robot is lighter, has stronger support, and is more cost-effective. We have repeatedly tested it in the production site and received positive feedback. It provides sufficient support for the arms, so you won’t get tired even if you hold a heavy power tool, and it can also support the lower back, so you can reduce muscle pain after work.
According to Keller, many households and small workshops in Germany have a strong tool mindset, and exoskeleton robots have bright market prospects as a tool to help improve efficiency.
In the future, the application scenario of exoskeleton robots overseas will be further expanded, and the main user base will gradually shift from corporate customers to individual consumers. Just as glasses correct vision and protect the eyes, exoskeleton robots complement skeletal muscles and protect limbs and joints. High-performance, compact, and low-cost exoskeleton robots may become the choice of individual consumers in the near future.
