Seeing him trying to see the screen under bright sunlight at 2:12 tells me that's a good candidate for an e-ink display rather than LED.
Reminds me of my Pebble Time. And then customers complain, we need something shiny and vibrant.
This is how our cyborg future starts y’all 😎
With Ascend, the user is always in control!
That would be great. Getting older & have weak knees.....joint pain.
@People of Dundee Society why?
@@melsmobileservices it's a joke because you're not going to be mobile anymore because you have joint pain that means you can't move so you're not mobile you know what I mean?
@@Alphabet7 oh, not a funny joke but now i get it,,,,,,,,ha ha ha.
Thank you! Our goal is to help people live a more mobile life.
@@RoamRobotics any idea when it's coming to Canada
Bright Ray of hope for those with knee problems, waiting for it to become easily accessible to the common man!
Goodbye knee pain, welcome back pain😀
I suffered from knee pain severely before and so I understand n appreciate this device. Still remember I couldn’t walk downstairs and a kind couples helped me to open the gate.
/watch?v=_Jgm-GuLelc try to aid your body in repairing itself by strengthening it. no disrespect, it's just that this marketing makes me sick. not fixing the root cause. disgusting.
I am curious how this tech will evolve in 5 to 10 years.
The main drawbacks I see:
cost
duration
that backpack
Main drawback is making the supporting muscles weaker, which will make knee pain increase without this device.
Agreed, I could see this being adjusted to help amputees and future military applications.
Size and look of the tech as well. I don't think looking like a cyborg is the future lol
@@mistamaog Respectually we disagree, a supportive device like this can give a patient more mobility, more exercise, and more health with less stress on the knee joint, overtime strengthening the leg.
@@mistamaog This is a false misconception. You are incorrect.
Tbh this stuff is the future. Imagine this in 10 years, especially when combined with something like neuralink for paraplegics.
The neuralink is a scam Go watch the common Skeptics video on it
Neuralink is bull. Maybe by the 2100's we'll have something like it.
Reply all those who are commenting that Neuralink is a scam, you need to understand that when some one fund some thing like Neura Link you are financing the dream, the idea. You are investing to make if a reality. But many times many things fail to become reality or it becomes reality after some time. Neuralink is still in its early stage for you to call it a scam.
@@RedLoveShow would you say the same thing about the hyperloop or the boring company or SpaceX just go watch the video by The Common Sense skeptic you'll find it interesting neuralink is a scam
@@RedLoveShow
Look, the dream of being able to control our computers and devices with our thoughts is not the same as Neuralink. Neuralink is promising that dream but it is a scam to steal your money. You don't have to give up that dream to realize when someone is scamming you.
Hyperloop is also a scam. It's never going to happen.
Elon promising to make a colony on Mars is also a scam. It's not going to happen in our lifetimes. We can barely establish colonies in the harshest regions on Earth. Mars is a thousand times harsher. Musk is a con-man not a genius.
The artwork on those stairs though.... 5:41
I'm a bit older and experience knee pain after sitting for any extended period of time. This would be great to help get up and get started before the pain works out!
I need this so badly.
thanx for review Lexy
Great product and an interesting new sector that is rapidly growing.
Then you’ll need a back assist when you throw out your back carrying the battery around.
Absolutely
😂😂😂
Man that looked so heavy
Advanced marketing.
Cause the problem you solve.
LOL 😂
I have a comment for the cameraman. As myself a basketball player twice tore my ACL and twice got my ACL Reconstruction surgery, knee pain and swelling was two to three time weekly occurrence. Only at 29 I got my knee PRP Injection from Regenexx. And my God after two months of physiotherapy I am back to jogging and excercising without any pain or swelling. But I stopped all contact sports from my second injury. But this robotics is good for Senior citizens and I see mysef using it for hiking.
Something to improve on: sunlight readability
Amazing tech. Will be great for those that are not knee replacement candidates.
Thank you doctor!
The fact that I'd have to press a button on a remote to sit down is a little weird. But I understand this device is still under development, so it'll probably get better and some day it'll become a really great product.
Times when I love living in SF. Most of the tech innovations you want to buy are made within a 40 mile radius of here. Ordered a level lock, said 7-10 day shipping, and It came in 2 days cause it's a bay area company. Keep the tech rolling bay area!
Looks like a 90's nintendo accessories.
Power glove, meet power knee
Wow!! Technology never ceases to amaze me.
hi will it help prople with partial paralysis, where can I buy it in canada
That screen where no one can read in the sun and struggle to operate with hand half covering it
Smart pack 😂
Reminds me when Batman Bale used that kind of thing in Dark Knight Rises
You have to change the mode have just to sit?
That's a great idea, but will there be a version that supports both legs?
Nope, right legs only. 😆
Need one for both leg.
Where should I get more details about the product ?
the sound with every step! lol
Nice content! ^^
I'm saving this 📹 video
Brilliant
how mush for it and can i ship it
Where can I get one from
Bravo and it s just a step in developing process about this device
How , i can made this product?
Elysium the beginning lol
Could do with something like this for hip pain
I think it would be better to go to the root source of what's causing the pain. Using something like this that takes the load off is just going to make the supporting muscles weaker and make your knees even weaker. More likely to have pain.
But for those with serious injuries, I can see this being useful, especially for rehab
How much and how could I avail of it..
@Roam Robotics
How would I be able to acquire one of these? Would my medical insurance through TriCare Prime be able to take care of it?
Now This Is Kinda Cool! ❄️
? Why the snowflake?
Awesome..!
Exactly what Giannis needs right now 🤣
Cost. N india is it available???
My son just had knee surgery and could use this!!!
How to buy
Me who've had ACL reconstruction / replacement. Yeah, it do be like that. =/
That's EXPENSIVE yo! And the size of that backpack. you will get back pain if you don't have it already. Lets see the final production unit when it comes out. Many more iterations before it becomes common place. Good start.
Well its either this or walking sticks.
Actually, previous robotic exoskeleton systems were in the 5 digit range, like more than 3x this amount, so it is amazing that in 2021/22 they can make it a little more affordable.. there's no telling when technology will be able to get robotic exoskeletons cheaper.. maybe in the next 10-20 years
Looking for such product
how much
Why the bag is need ?
How much?
If that unfortunate day comes when my parents have a hard time walking, I want to be able to get this for them.
Soon 3d printed home versions will be out. Some clever clogs out there can replicate it for cheap.
Give me two of those with added weapon holsters and then I shall be ready for my Mars living.
It's been 2 years and still nothing like it on the market. My grandparents are now confined to their house by arthritis. 700$ is a reasonable price to help them get out again.
Hi , please can this work on someone with one paralyzed short leg?
Please make it available now, I need it for any price!
Vibrator?
Must needed for back pain as well.
when i think about exoskel, i imagine a person runs at a speed of 70 km like edge of tomorrow
Hopefully you dont have a bad back as well, by the size of that "smart pack".
HOW CAN I BUY THIS PRODUCT
Wish they had something like this for back pain...
if they could figure out how to sit without a chair in a pair of these, they could come in handy for amusement parks like disney world or big events like ces or comic con where you are constantly standing in a long line, standing or walking great distances.
You should try it with one on each knee!
Can we wear it in both legs.
Is this better for becker muscular dystrophy patients
Host is 🔥
anyone know these type of item prefer for Becker muscular dystrophy patient because there is no medical treatment for that 😢
We are getting closer to exosceletons from video games
Becoming Superman is getting closer and closer xD
I wonder if a modified version of this can be used by Connor Mcgregor while his leg is healing.
I want to invent one for sciatic pain
ACL repairs don’t just come loose, it’s likely that he either stopped weight training, and lost stability due to atrophying muscles, or he had a torn meniscus and the repaired part retore.
Hi CNET. What is her name btw?
So I can go skiing again with this?
The company actually makes a ski exoskeleton too!
@@LexySavvides nice!! 😊
I’m sure the issue with having to wear a bulky pack (diminishing the leg assist benefits) will be resolved within the next decade. As I understand many leg pain issues are actually rooted in back issues. Don’t need a back pack exacerbating that.
So excited for this!
Hey, isn't this the one Bruce Wayne had on in TDKR?
I like to see a LITE version of this, mainly for elder or weaker person. Just a little bit assist.
What about backpain?
Cool
Welcome Sam Porter Bridges
2:08 so this is for your knee right?
cyberpunk here we go!!
Mad Max
Only one? Give me two.
Plz make videos with the aspect ratio 20:9
Arms and shoulders
Put a portable solar panel
"This robot is to ease your knee pain,
You also have to wear this backpack with "BATTERIES" to give you back pain..
And do not worry, we also have a robot to ease back pain, sold separately, and the battery pack is located in the clutch bag intended for your left arm..."
This will also be useful for old people.
Yes
Will this help people stand up, and sit down?
Please V.A please!!!!
Maybe the CEO squinting & trying to provide some shade to use the controller is a good indication it needs a better daylight-ready screen.
can I buy for both legs & help me do NBA dunks?
Its such a shame the body doesn't have its own suit of muscles to support the knee
point taken, however if you do PT you know there are limits to what muscles can do when people have a long history of osteoarthritis and other joints than the originally affected are already showing signs of OA too because of longterm compensation. If you said this was a useless tool then you would also have to argue that artificial joints are a scam and I would believe, at least in a certain number of cases, knee and hip replacements absolutely make sense and can give people a new quality of life.
You realize that this is for people who NEED the support, right???
@@TheDeathmail You do realize that most people suffer from joint problems because they don't keep proper muscle strength, right??? Creations like this simply help people cope with life-long unhealthiness.
@@kendrick5909 some of us suffer joint pain as a result of things like 35 year fire careers coupled with more than a few room collapses dumping us down a story, or two.
think before you say.
Some people with joint pain are ex Firemans, nurses, military,...
Samsung is making something like this. They presented it 2 or 3 years ago
