As forklift driver I can tell you straight up: That robot suit will take more training to use safely.
A lot more
So the question is rather "can we programm them enough to be of any value"
Is it hard to get a forklift license?
Not hard at all
And this is in Australia, one of the most over regulated safety conscious places on earth.
I have seen them in action, they are following the natural movements of a person
Forklifts in a foundry is a fine art though
You don't get to spill molten metal more than once
Human in a suit can operate that hot vat with more control and finesse though
I guarantee you, you’ll have to be licensed to use one. That licensing will include, at a minimum, everything that a forklift driver has to learn. You’ll then have to learn how to operate the suit on top of that.
Probably
Though what is there to learn?
How about we just go all fortuna on construction workers?
You just move
Like you'd move in every day
Yes, but in every day movement you arent carrying a tonne of weight that can crush a person next to you.
We remove their arms and replace them with prosthetic limbs?
The training isn’t so much about how to use the machine (same with forklift, it’s pretty basic), it’s about what you can *do* with it.
Safe working loads, procedures etc etc
The thing carries the load you know
You’ll have to replace everything... at which point just wait for Boston dynamics to make a good robot.
Besides, there are already passive exosuits around to be used
How far are we from this?
That's a human.
Cold the air and water flowing.
Hard the land we call our own.
All those are exosuits that are in use in the industries
Last one being a chair that is always strapped to your legs, so you can sit anywhere
Heck, you can even put it at the highest level and semi-stand while jobbing without getting your legs tired
Do they make big ones for fat people?
210kg limitation
chair anywhere? why is this not revealed to the public?
