The Italian company Comau has introduced the new MATE-XT GO industrial exoskeleton, designed to reduce strain on workers' arms and shoulders during repetitive tasks and overhead work.
The device is a passive exoskeleton that does not use electric motors to assist human movement. Its design helps support the arms during various tasks, making it easier for the worker to operate tools in a raised position for extended periods.
The MATE-XT GO weighs less than 3 kg and is designed for use in various environments. Comau cites construction, manufacturing, and logistics among its potential applications.
The manufacturer claims that the system can reduce the physical strain on the user by up to 50%. However, this figure depends on the specific task and operating conditions, so it should not be viewed as a guaranteed reduction in strain for every construction process.
In the construction industry, this technology is of particular interest for tasks such as assembly, drilling, equipment installation, and other operations that require a person to keep their arms raised for extended periods.
