The Waist-Assist Exoskeleton is a high-tech auxiliary device developed for the industrial handling sector. It aims to address issues of waist fatigue and muscle strain commonly encountered by workers during traditional handling tasks, alleviating physical burdens when lifting heavy objects and enhancing productivity.



The device features an integrated design approach, reducing overall weight to just 5.5 kg. Its reinforced structure supports loads up to 30 kg. Equipped with a high-capacity battery, it offers up to 4 hours of operation, significantly boosting work efficiency. Additionally, the exoskeleton incorporates an intelligent sensing system that automatically detects the user's motion state and can autonomously switch between handling assistance mode and walking assistance mode, ensuring optimal support in various conditions.



Looking ahead, the Zhiyuan Research Institute's R&D and design team will continue to focus on optimizing product performance and exploring further intelligent capabilities, with the aim of becoming a leader in the field of human assistive devices.
