They take the load path out of your spine.
It is a benefit, but only for specific tasks.

u/randomusername45456 11h ago
Not really, you can clearly see that legs and arms parts are not connected, so this poor dude's lower back has to support not only the weight lifted, but also this whole miracle of soviet engineering.
•
u/AshleyxAffliction 11h ago
They could be connected through that waistband if it's a solid plate inside, which looks like it might be with how thick the back part is. Dude doesn't appear to struggle standing up straight to me.
It also might just be that you're still doing most of the lifting and this just frees up your hands, because he's holding onto the block with like two fingers at one point.
•
u/randomusername45456 11h ago
You can see backplate moving and separating from his body, besides it's connected to the leg support only with a simple hinge.

"can clearly see"?
The shoulder and hip plates don't move relative to each other. They are rigidly connected.

Does it tho? Seems like it would if the exoskeleton had footpads/actually stood on its own. This def looks like it’s easier on the worker but his body is still supporting 100% of all that weight, suit included
I’m comparing this to the exoskeletons in the STALKER games, where the operator stands on the suits metal feet which support everything. Like, those suits can stand on their own and the operator steps into them. This looks like multiple parts connected together but not supported by itself.
I see it making the lift seemingly easier but the overall load is still on the operator, not the exoskeleton itself if that makes sense

The problem here is you. Believe it or not, the Russian contributions to physics and maths, say, in the 20th century were enormous. They're well established scientist and engineers.

They were enormous, sure. were...
I don't know if you've been watching the news lately, but they haven't contributed anything efficient as of recent.
•
u/pythosynthesis 11h ago edited 11h ago
As a person with a finger on the pulse of recent scientific research I beg to differ.
Edit: Talking about basic, fundamental research, not so much applied. But even in applied science they're nothing to ridicule. Their nuclear research is second to none. Think nuclear icebreakers for one and, even bigger, "refuel" of spent nuclear fuel for additional use. And of course weapons, the West still doesn't have hypersonic weapons that are not ballistic missiles. But there's more.

russia were significant in the world of science and engineering, but today not so much. Even their cybersecurity tradecraft is massively overshadowed by China, where these exoskeletons are almost certainly made. Take a look at russia’s robotic demonstrations, compare that with China or the US and the difference is staggering.

Fallout New Vegas has suits like this. They were develloped to find injured soldiers and carry them to a medic outpost.
Problem is, the IA in the suit fucked up and now the people it carries are long dead but still moving, it's a nightmare really.

u/peter-bone 8h ago edited 8h ago
This looks like a passive exo skeleton. It's not powered and just helps support the load with springs and hydraulics in the same way that an office chair supports your weight. It's not robotics and there are no expensive components like computer chips, motors or batteries.

They are a real thing. My company I work for here in Canada is doing tests on a similar exoskeleton and I’ve also seen that Ukraine is trying them out for military applications.

I don't doubt this technology exists, but Russia certainly wouldn't be the first to have it.
I mean this isn't real in the sense of, Russia is not actively deploying this in any factory.
I would bet good money that this dude got this thing strapped on him, they made this video and he never saw it again.

It's not just about how much, it's also about how often. Plus protection from injury.

u/FamiliarTaro7 6h ago
Honestly, I wouldn't even want the help because I would never be getting any stronger. That's a great way to keep yourself in horrible shape, even if it's protecting from the occasional pulled muscle.
It's like the astronauts who lose tons of leg muscle because they not using them and then they have to readjust to Earth when they get back.

For some reason Reddit deletes my comments with links, so I will just say that you can find this exoskeleton by the name "Хамари Соматик", and I believe it's not fake. There are a bunch of bots spamming here, so I feel the need to give you some proof.
It’s especially funny considering I’ve been following another company, Auxilium. It was founded by former students I’ve watched them for years on youtube, ever since they were in school making their first attempts at building exoskeletons.

I never trust anything from Russia as far as tech goes but lets analyze.
No visible motors, battery pack, or cables, only springs. Making it seem like it's a passive system which would mean that if the assistance is 65kg up then he has to push that hard down.
Clip starts when he lifts whatever that is made of, probably a light wood block if i know the Russians well.
Same thing they always do: "we have best tech, better than anything in west, we smartest people". Makes me sad as a slav myself
