  it has been shown that the MATE-XT upper limb exoskeleton and the MATE-XB lumbar device can reduce users’ effort by up to 30 percent

  I guess every little bit helps, but I thought they’d be shooting for something like 50+% at least

    Hey, a 30% increase is the difference between carrying a 100 pound load in my arms and a 70 pound load. I’d definitely want that bonus at my stagehand job, it’d make carpentry more bearable. Especially given how weak I am in general.

      Especially if it aided in static lift. Think of if it could lock your arm overhead, so that 20lbs item’s weight is on your shoulders instead of your arms.

  I just want to be able to sit wherever I am without there having to be chairs around.

      Never knew I wanted this. I’ll add it to the list of cyborg enhancements I’d be okay with, like camera eyes, a thumb drive thumb and deployable roller skate feet.
