We tried the exoskeleton Ford factory workers are using

- The EksoVest makes lifting things easier. It doesn't exactly turn you "bionic," despite its futuristic look. Instead, it shifts pressure from your arms to your legs, giving the wearer more power while lifting. And it's currently being used by four factory workers at Ford.
We tested it out.

The surge is a fun game.
I liked it, didn't get very far though.
Jake Mcewen .....
It's not tho.
no its not i got ptsd playing it
@@pessimisticallypositive285 you're right. It's a SUPER fun game
Last step is to replace the low-efficiency human part.
Blackpilled af
Human is a pretty optimal and efficient source of mechanical work. We only need 1.400 calories per day and we already have about 80.000 calories to spend if we run out of food. We need just water (the most abundant thing in our planet) and a little bit of fat and flesh.
@@George-wv5wk Most of that water is undrinkable
Mendicant bias
George humans get tired, need sleep, need to eat, drink, need to talk.. I hope your joking that a human is efficient compared to a robot
Little do they know they're actually training bipedal robots to take their jobs in 25 years.
SeeDMT best comment
25? Nah 10 at most.
SeeDMT Oh that would be genius
Good
Fully automated luxury communism
I love this idea, I started working in a garage when I was seventeen and six months in I already was dealing with a lot of shoulder and back pain even at such a young age.
*Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare would like to know your location*
Atlas*
That seems like a very good idea!
it is
"seems"
yeah, something that's actually practical and not far-fetched
i love u sauce pan ..
Or Ford could rotate the cars on to their sides.
T A *fords secret police wants to know your location*
Ford Employees: WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN
_This comment was taken over by the Ford motor company. Move along, person._
That's no fun
Well whats cheaper? A device that holds a 5 pound arm or a machine that flips a 1 ton car?
Holding up sheets of drywall fucks up my shoulders, cant imagine how these guys dealt with it before this stuff. It gives you a whole new respect for those old pictures of workers you see on the rail road or in a factory.
oh wow a video that doesn't stretch out content for 10+mins. Straight to the point.
I worked in a garage door factory for a year and anyone who's been there for more than five has had some kind of shoulder surgery. It's been three years since that job and my shoulder has just finished healing. The company I worked for tried to screw guys out of pension and paying for the different injuries. This is a really fantastic thing that Ford is doing
The earliest version of this invention was by Dr. Peter T. Markevich, the Military currently uses a version quite similar to what I saw plans for in the 70's.
I work in the trades. I've seen a lot of manufacturing robots and they look painfully slow. They do better overall because unlimited strength and 24/7 work. I would be interested to see a skilled trades person with an exoskeleton that could lift as much as need maybe into the 1 ton area of weight, yes I know it would be a huge machine, but I think a human could out perform a robot minute vs minute production, especially in places with more custom work where set up times would be a hindrance.
Don't worry fam, I am trying to make a company that specializes in custom manufacturing, I will use things similar to what you said. My end goal is research, after money starts to roll in, I'm doing this so I can invent stuff that I would need the funds to do (like a vtol)
Machines don't need salary, healthcare and a pension. Maintenance and occasional repair is much cheaper than hiring a person.
arms and legs are not meant to stay in one position for extended periods, it causes 'static loading' where lactic acid starts to build up in the muscle and causes all kinds of problems.
These types of videos I love; Short sweet and straight to the point! No "Please subscribe before I show the video"
No Clickbait
No BS
There's the title, and here's the results in a quick easily digestible vid!
I'd have a real issue with those bars sticking out the back catching on things as you turn around. I can see someone being carried off down an assembly line screaming.
I feel like this technology could work well for VR
I work at TMMK and we are testing these out on certain lines too.
i want one that helps me drink coffee more efficiently
Come to me.ive constructed what I call an exo-lift powered arm unit that assists weakened muscles.i have some bursitis in my left arm and my unit has actually been very helpful and I plan on modification of the design and development of the device.but that exo suit is fantastic news for various workers who can use this on their job site.
Lol
God this would be amazing for my torn shoulder
They must feel so badass wearing a mech-suit at work. I need one of these =)
"Who you gon'na call? Quartz Busters!"
HERE WE GO.
This is gonna be HUGE
To defeat the car building robots we must become the car building robots.
I need this for holding my phone
Wow a company that cares about its workers. Interesting concept.
They should adapt one of these to help lifters and bodybuilders when training alone.
The future is already here, we just need to make it shinny and chrome.
This is such a brilliant idea, wow
I need this for picking up my son all day
We're gonna need you to work Sunday as well
this is the most depressing comment section ever made
Fo real all the stoopids not getting its just some springs hahaha
Watches Quartz video, now I keep getting videos on rings and jewelry...
And so it began...
Should just design the assembly line so the workers don't have to reach up while looking up, which isn't just terrible for shoulders but for necks too
theyre great and all its just they shock you when you try and sit down.
This would make welding so much easier... I want one.
This could be game changing
I use to be a baggage handler for Delta Airlines. They should use this technology.
I don’t know what to believe anymore when watching videos
See, we need one that has a wrist too. Just imagine the possibilities! I'll bet you could open pickle jars!
Of course something that really helps somebody is stupid expensive.
regardless of how cheap it is to manufacture
if i had this when i was loading molds into the furnaces at work to cast jet engine blades/vanes i'd have been able to pull 16 hour shifts no sweat (12s were rough). a lot of the molds weigh a little upward of 100 lbs, and i'm 190 lbs sopping wet.
Maybe package handlers would appreciate the use of this ... but freight shipping companies never seem to 'reach expected income' enough for something that would aid workers this way
this is very very awesome! I would love to get my hands on one of these for my shoulders and knees. For years now I've looked for something similar to this, but modified to HELP try and keep my knees and shoulders from subluxation, at any moment, well lets just say that the only thing I have found is still in fantasy land..... wolverine's make up w/o the claws. no other brace or surgery has ever helped.
Simplest way to train the replacement robots.
Now add this to mailing companies bc in the factories you use your back a lot I have seen noone in my year and a half of working there completely crouch and pick up a package bc the supervisors are literally breathing down your neck to go faster and faster nothing is ever fast enough for them
I'm gonna use one to help me treat clients.
Exoskeleton:" Kill mode engaged!".
So basically Sam Porter Bridges
We need this on my assembly line
I just picture someone wearing this, throwing an adult up in the air and catching them repeatedly like you do with a baby
*THE SURGE INTENSIFIES*
You mean to tell me there are companies that actually care about their employees and take their concerns seriously?
This would be great for soldiers, especially machine gunners, carrying a 240 would be a lot easier with that thing
Atlas will love to buy this
looks like fun when it's over 100 in the summer
Cool! Ironman suit, here I come!
Finally we can fight those aliens
Let this be a lesson, "give up on your hair, your body follows."
Send some to the dealerships holy smokes that would be so nice. I can't tell you how many times I was doing an exhaust or something above my head and my arms get so tired I have to frequently stop and waste time/money.
If the people who report pain were to stretch, i wonder if that would help it's likely their muscles just tight.
I wonder if lose of upper body strength would happen after prolonged use of it though. Since it seems you are not using the same muscles any more to do it. Mean for saving shoulders its great just wondering if there will be bad side effects after though.
Question is... Can you double jump with it??
That would be great for my thoracic outlet syndrome
And then two workers get into a fight
*chefs around the world wants to know your location*
Where can I get one? My shoulder was destroyed in a surgery, and my other arm has nerve damage. I'd just want one so I can carry my children and not allow those moments to pass me by.
Ultrasound techs could use this.
That’s sick I wonder how fast/mobile u can move in this. Imagine running or jumping with this
It makes you heavier so your comment doesn't make sense.
This may very well make the dream of wielding oversized exotic fantasy/anime swords a reality!!!
So when do you guys get the military contract
Just great, and those metal bars sticking 6" out from his back aren't going to get caught on anything. Yeah.
Time to hit the gym
Bud!
One step closer to Advanced Warfare
ford is pretty nice with their worker
Man that be useful for firefighters or disaster relief
I want to wear this under a suit of armor
My weak ass needs this
Wow. Even techs at dealerships could seriously use this
Specially for rotates and shit
i just want one so i can feel badass
It looks really comfortable🙄
This is giving me The Surge vibes
Legit thought Guy in thumbnail was Steve Zergoza
This is so cool. I'm really enjoying the future lol.
This is amazing tech.
Death stranding becoming real.
Wait until they produce exo suits like in the Elysium movie haha
Can’t wait till they throw out the human part, have you guys seen terminator. AI is coming for us😂
Why do they have so many recalls if it's so good😂
the surge has become reality
I feel like I’ve seen this guy online doing some very questionable acts on some very questionable websites.
First, wow what a vest! Really impressed and find it cool.
Second, you expected your workers to work in those positions without sustaining stress injuries? Wow, really? And even the drill he was using was stupid. I mean have it auto load for crying out loud.
7k ain't actually bad if you're going to be using it for several years.
We need something like this for software engineers. Our back and neck are killing us.
I’ll take your entire stock!!!
Shit let me try. One. I shovel and rack blacktop all day long. That’s what I wanna try. That’s be nice have because it gets cold and impossible to move at that point this would be a godsend
Imagine wearing this at the gym and benchpressing 500 lbs. with ease.
But does it come with a jump pack?
Well by the time my shoulders and back are completely ruined this may be semi affordable
alright well I'm getting one and becoming a super hero
Just the next advancement of humans becoming like the film wall-e!
