Korean scientists create exoskeleton powered by AI for walking and climbing: It increases leg strength by 30%

Specialists from the Korea Institute of Science and Technology's Center for Intelligent Robotic Systems have developed the MOONWALK Omni, a portable exoskeleton. According to the developers, the device facilitates walking and uphill climbing.

The innovation consists of a belt with four powerful actuators attached to the hips. These actuators help maintain balance and increase leg strength by 30% through additional traction. The MOONWALK Omni is claimed to weigh only 2 kg, and an adult can put on the exoskeleton in less than 10 seconds without external assistance.
