Picture a machine that bears all the loads and payloads while still functioning precisely at human discretion. That's the concept behind human robots. The technology incorporates a robotic exoskeleton on a human to enhance productivity and reduce worker’s effort.
The suit is highly dexterous and is designed to ensure workers' safety. An exoskeleton resembles a suit and is astonishingly robust. It can provide uninterrupted service of up to four hours and lift 80 pounds of load. Another important observation is that this technology does not result in elimination of jobs. Instead, human robots will enhance a worker’s productivity and longevity, as most of the physical is performed with the help of the exoskeleton suit.
Why do we need human robots?
A human robot performs hours of intensive labor without showing any signs of fatigue. As a result, a robot is much more efficient than human. A human cannot match the precision with which a robot carries out its tasks, but there is always a need to monitor the machine.
