@@jawickrock3443 Weird because my niece who was born with cerebral palsy walked with the full leg version of these. It was the first time in her life she ever walked. She was 44 years old.
Military already has a exoskeleton soldier suit, search it up. It’s crazy since the program was first supposed to be for disabled people before being taken into the military.
@@hatchedcoast7495 The military version allows soldiers to lift considerable weight. Yeah, it's pretty amazing. The next step is to get soldiers flying. I know it's not practical, but I'd LOVE to see a suit hooked up to a nuclear backpack battery.
The military already has a couple different exoskeleton suits publicly known. And some that aren't. They would probably laugh at your face if someone proposed this piece of garbage to them.
@@dontbanmebrodontbanme5403 Yes!! Because a nuclear powered battery backpack is such a great idea Charlie Brown. Lets put a nuclear device on all the soldiers backs so that when they're killed the enemy can take the equipment they have and make as many makeshift nuclear bombs as they desire. What a brilliant idea Charles.
Currently looks limited to me. Rightly or wrongly (probably the latter) I imagined Steven Hawkins walking like John Travolta below the knee, as the rest of his body dragged along the floor behind (definitely the latter!). But it's at least one step closer the P-5000 Powered Work Loader in Aliens.
Well, it's intended for use by people who already have problems with walking anyway. I imagine one of the major use cases for this is to help rehabilitate people who have waist-down paralysis as a result of stroke (grandparents of both sides of my family have it). The technology could also be used in bionic leg prosthesis although there are already entire labs dedicated to developing bionic prosthetics. If a normal person were to actually use this on a day-to-day basis, their leg muscles would atrophy as a result of not needing to exert the muscles as much, but if there's any perfectly mobile person who would benefit from this, it would be soldiers carrying hundreds of pounds of equipment regularly when in deployment. If this were to go commercial one important feature this needs to have is to allow the people implementing this to adjust the amount of powered assistance to give the user to account for whoever needs to use this and consider stuff like muscle atrophy, pre existing conditions affecting mobility etc.
Depends. As others already mentioned. Enabling people to walk who couldn't before is a net activity increase. This isn't for people who don't need assistance.
Yes it will...thats why she said its only for those who have muscle issues... BTW I have got most strongest and bulky calf muscles in my entire town as I like workout of legs day most in my gym schedule...people used to ask me..what are you going to do with those big calf muscles? Now i know how useful they ate in walking and running
I broke my foot n had to wear a full moon boot for months But i got use to it and just did normal day to day stuff n i live on a farm so yeh pretty hard on it which delayed even more But after i stopped wearing it my ankle mussels wear so weak i couldnt even stand on 1 foot for more than a secnd or to. N would randomly give way n hit the ground. Took me agers to get it back

Real life iron man: It gives you the power to walk. . . because you couldn't do that before. . . apparently. . . . i think. . . really wasn't clear on that part. Oh, but don't try crab walking though, or side stepping. . . or strafing, jumping or really most any normal motor functions. Yeah, the systems not really built for that. So yeahhhhh~ Oh, and also don't turn the thing off, if you do that, you will feel crippled for life, even if you were completely fine before using the thing. Real life iron man though, right guys? If you read that that in a rick & morty voice, congrats. You understood the assignment.
As someone with CP this might help if my right foot always dragging I trip some times because of that. I can't lift my foot from the front when I walk.
Could be a big leap of faith for people like myself with life limiting flat feet tree trunk legs, no thanks to a busted lymphatic system/Lymphoedema and totally flat dropped feet with no insteps or arches, although, if you do have particularly wide calves, this boot as it is wouldn't work for you unless it was lace up, or you lost the boot altogether and just had a thing like those kiddies roller skates which strap over a normal pair of boots, shoes, sandals, slippers Etc. That would also be better over the warmer months when you wouldn't want to be wearing boots.
It would also be awesome and a huge benefit to people who were in a coma for many years fun fact your muscles tend to atrophy in a coma well due to lack of movement it's why they need rehab afterwords
Why do modern nerds always prefer electric and motor based actuators over hydraulic and pneumatic? Most industrial machinery turned from electric actuators toward these back in the day, and they really haven’t been upgraded since. Is it a safety thing?
This is, in reality, stupid. Weightlifting bulks up muscle, by constantly and repeatedly, tearing muscle tissue. The repair process then adds more on to help since constant tearing is a sign of heavy use thus the body reacts by meeting the need. Similarly, bones get stronger through impact. Putting them under stress causes the body to react similarly. It makes them fractionally stronger each time to meet the need. Of course, both processes only work within reason. Doing too much abuse is like overdoing anything, toxic. Still, astronauts lose massive amounts of muscle and bone mass because the body is an efficiency machine. If they aren't constantly tearing their muscles and impacting their bones under the pressure of gravity, they quickly lose them. Walkers, scooters, iron man shoes may have niche uses, but an overuse of them further disables people because, while they assist people, they assist people in atrophying. An injury can mean a need for support. Most people using these things just have atrophied muscles and bones. It would benefit them much more to have physio to get them back up to strength. So, instead of making a shoe that takes over for the work, why not make a shoe that helps a person build muscle? For many older people, it can be dangerous to excersize when their muscles reach a certain point of atrophy. Their legs giving out from under them becomes a real concern. Maybe some gear that allows them to strengthen themselves in a safe manner until they can build enough muscle to be more stable on their own would be a much better tool.
doesn't seem like it offers assistance through the entire stride... that's a lot of tech for something barely useful... better off miniaturizing the modern wheelchair
Looks like too much engineering not enough smarts in this design. it needs far more leeway and give, less all physically connected to itself. the cords are a no go. thing is one glitch away from snapping your ankle in half

There are people with muscular degenerative disease that this may help them continue to walk without being in a wheelchair. That would be transformational. Granted, my dad has this disease so I'm a little biased.
probably not you still would be maintained by gravity acting upon your body overcoming gravity has our bodies working at a certain minimal effort all the time
She can walk! It’s a miracle!!!
Isn't she already an Robot?
You know there are people who CAN'T walk, right?
@@jherriff you know this wont help them right ?

@@danbolger6181 ur thinking about prosthetic legs, its different tech. This is assisted walking.
Can't wait for v36 with actually thrusters!
And possible leg repulsors
Mail carriers could be assisted with something like this to lighten the load. Or any other occupations that walk continuously.
Very cool exoskeleton progress
Wow this is moving along more quickly than I expected
This looks like a more refined version would fit inside a pair of boots easily. The military might be interested 😄
Military prob has V4 or V5 already 😅

Forget this walking business.. focus on jetpacks so we can fly.. 😂
I’ve got a destroyed ankle with bad gout. Something like this would change my life in a very positive way.
This guy resists the temptation to fight crime after dark.
Y’all should check out Biomotum from NAU, their exo looks a lot more developed as a product
Gundam witch from mercury anime is also featuring a mechanic leg product, what a coincidence
Great video 👍
50's sci-fi comes to mind. Gotta start somehwhere. Why not the past?
Some people don't walk right , if this device could fix & correct our walking abnormalities and uncontrollable walking patterns.
These exoskeletons are made for walking and that's just what they'll do.
If Shaka Zulu caught any warrior wearing shoes or flip flops, he would bash their skull open with a club for embracing weakness.

it’s almost like it does the walking for you!!!!!
I have cramp fasciculation syndrome. Really would like to test one of these. 400 meters is my current max distance when walking.

Great invention for many Mericans.

The real world iron man suit has been made by numerous peoples contributions to the end game.
Woahhhhhhhhhhh that's amazing 🙀
Reckon it'd be any good for people with Claudication?
Tony Stark: Yeah I can walk.
It would also be awesome and a huge benefit to people who were in a coma for many years fun fact your muscles tend to atrophy in a coma well due to lack of movement it's why they need rehab afterwords
If they really want to help waking they should've made it full leg sized
It would be good if they did it for us spinal cord injuries to walk
If no one say it I will
RUN FORREST RUN!!!
is it me or does he look like Mr. Robot if he had a decent life and used his knowledge for good.
My typical mind whenever I see a new technology how much does it cost 😭?
Ok so I have ALS, and this would help tremendously. I want to know how to get a pair or at least find out how to try them out....
Need a Exoskeleton for maCock !
I need those for my mom who has MS.

You can't call them boots, that's against Stanford's new word restrictions. You need to call them walking assists.
What motor is used for this?
*T-800* IS NEXT
Til someone hacks it and makes you run 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Cool 🎉
lol we had this in the 80ties
With my health issues I could use something like that

havent these been developed before...... years ago
The iron man reference is all wrong. This is much closer to what Logan wore in the TV series Dark Angel.
Momma says they my magic shoes and they take me anywhere
I'd far more be interested in a device I would help me regain even a little more muscle strength rather than take away what muscle strength I have
Coll idea but too expensive
Iron women 🤪😂
Getting tired of people who throw the term A.I. around in their videos.
It's called Machine Learning.
Muscular dystrophy , multiple sclerosis, motor neuron disease patient will be more helpful by these investigations
Hiiii
It's a bit bulky
Can it help alzheimers patients that think they are too young to walk but have the strength to walk
Designed to help no one. Thanks!

If you used them all the time, wouldn’t your leg muscles get weak?
It is for people with muscle weakness and some other medical conditions most probably
probably not you still would be maintained by gravity acting upon your body
overcoming gravity has our bodies working at a certain minimal effort all the time
They would become weak.
