- I got a chance to unbox and test the Comau MATE Exoskeleton and try it out at the Comau facility. Check out the Comau website for more info: www.comau.com/en/our-competen...
Developed in collaboration with ÖSSUR, an Icelandic leading non-invasive orthopedic company, and IUVO, a spin-off company of the Italian BioRobotics Institute specialized in wearable technologies, and commercialized by Comau, the Comau Exoskeleton is fully able to replicate dynamic movements of the shoulder while enwrapping the body like a second skin. This ensures greater comfort for the worker and increases work quality and efficiency by providing consistent movement assistance during manual and repetitive tasks.

Former toy designer, current CZcams maker and general robotics, electrical and mechanical engineer, I’m a fan of doing it yourself and innovation by trial and error. My channel is where I share some of my useful and not-so-useful inventions, designs and maker advice. Iron Man is my go-to cosplay, and 3D printing can solve most issues - broken bolts, missing parts, world hunger, you name it.
XRobots is the community around my content where you can get in touch, share tips and advice, and more build FAQs, schematics and designs are also available. - Věda a technologie
I used to work in a warehouse and people had injuries related to working above their heads. I don't think they made exoskeletons then but we solved it pretty well with a step.
This is disingenuous and ignores people like mechanics whom don't have a choice and a step would be useless to them. Don't be rude.
@@DrLavitz no, really. This is 100% true. I don't doubt that there are situations where this would be effective. All I'm saying is that there are also situations where a low tech solution worked better, more cheaply and more conveniently.
Isambardify working at height then though... 😁
Well I would imagine that thing being in you're way when working in the cramped space of a industrial machine.
DrLavitz just turn the car over on it’s side! Simple!
My expectation: Call Of Duty: Advanced Warfare
What I got: Arm raising suit
Tru
yes very sad
"Drinking coffee while procrastinating over projects" - I'm an expert in this regard. Let me know if you need some pointers.
I'm an expert too, and I would help you too, but I'm playing Dark Souls and I can't pause the game until I reach the next bonfire so... maybe later.
I I'm I am yeah
Yeah me too I'll do it later tho rn I'm watching CZcams and after I'll probably watch some more CZcams and after that it'll probably be around like 9pm so then I'd have to sleep or something and then when I wake up I'll probably watch some more CZcams and then- LISTEN I'LL DO IT EVENTUALLY
I skipped 2 adverts . . Just to watch an advert 🤔
@Jude MacPherson No . . no it wasn't obvious at all.. And yes, a single guy could totally do that.
That one akword moment when you reply to your own comment...
@@TheLegend-ox7wu that other awkward moment when you misspell awkward...
That engineer was watching the video and was probably thinking, "yeah we definitely tried that and its a dead end path"
always drives me crazy when I go to a company website and the only way you can get a price is to e-mail them. Oh well out of my league. but some interesting design ideas if you ever decide to build mk II of your exo-suit
I quite agree. If I see a website with no prices I'll move along to the next supplier.
@@owensparks5013 sadly there really isn't one in this case, and it's not powered, just resistive assist, also no aid in gripping objects. but I find the arrangement to be an interesting model for what could become a real power assist suit
Do you offer a price
@@PRiMETECHAU He said workplace injuries cost around 8,000 UK pounds so probably around 10,000 dollars.
Panasonic, Honda and many other companies are making powered upper body suits like this meant for automotive assembly line workers, this unpowered contaption is a complete waste of money for the price they're asking.
This would also be great for puppeteers, those guys only work above their head.
I groaned when he said "focus group". Suddenly I understand how this product came to be.
It needs head support. When I use my binoculars to look up at stars my neck is the first to get strained and then my arms.
Why not just get a telescope?
I can't help but think that a nice lightweight set of steps would remove all need for this suit, and given that there is no mention anywhere on the internet of a price I think we can assume it is a crazy price and therefore the steps are also a cheaper option, quicker to access and just as useful.
ya if they cant do heavy lifting its not worth it
I really love that James purposefully chose footage of his exosuit trying to kill him :)
This thing looks like those things in advanced warfare
Anyone else here to see him Exo-jump everywhere? 😂
CODAW players be like
This is the first time I’ve been glad to see an ad
Looking forward to seeing how they evolve. I'll need one in about twenty-five years.
I love your videos, greetings from Mexico
I would have loved to have something like this years ago.
This is super cool! Obviously everyone wants a powered one, but this is still fantastic!
I'd personally like to see this with forearm support, since that's the part of my body that gets the most fatigued doing manual work, but clearly this is built to suit a broad range of tasks.
I think this exoskeleton and your exosuite had two different use cases. This one is more to support the arms while doing repetitive tasks at awkward angles while your suit was for you to be able to pick up heavier loads than normal. I do wonder how will the Mate fare in tight areas. When I was servicing jets for the IDF my arms were useally high above my head and inside the jet, so I could only move my fingers to use the warcheat. The shoulder braces look like they won't really be that useful for that task.
I will call this video "how to get skinnier than you are now"
I did something similar for the knees/hips on one of my giant robot suits. PVC and bungee cord can do similar, but would probably need some sort of threaded stock carriage (a la 3d printer carriage) to make it adjustable.
I'd give the prize to James when it comes to exoskeletons. At least the DIY one seemed to be a waldo controlled power assisted unit and this appears to be purely passive strain relief. I also agree with the others: odd the company isn't eating its own dog food... nobody else is wearing one.
You should have turned it up to 11
Careful!! You'll be entering the realm of Collin Furze if you do that
Ur shoulder is actually a good muscle to assist because it moves ur entire arm and if ur help that shoulder muscle then repetitive tasks become a lot easier
Once they have one that can increase my physical strength and be in small functional form, I'll be in.
japan has some you can rent, called Hal by cyberdyne lol. Theyre mainly used for medical use, like lifting a person up with no problem, but there are videos where you can lift the side of a car up like a jack with no problem.
I'm currently building one in my workshop creating a portable exosuit
I mean, this exoskeleton can absolutely increase your physical strength in any upwards pushing motions. It's also at pretty much the minimum size for a decently effective exoskeleton.
We just bought this for work! It's awesome!
Quite surprised, was expecting something a bit mad but it's pretty cleverly simple
For those curious my job bought these NEW for around $6500 to $7000, depending on size. I recommend buying used if u can find 1.
Do they make anything to help with the back pain of all that lifting and the added weight of the comau mate ?
You feel like batman when hes trainning
I kind of wish I could attach this to my handicapped grand-uncle.
Now we need a fnaf suit around it
I would have one just so I can use it as a base to make a power armor cosplay. In all seriousness I think your Exo suit can work with a slightly less complex design, the Mate has small and simple joins and doesn't rely on bulky worm gear or chain drive mechanisms like some of your previous incarnations.
We use this at work :)
This is not a sponsored video, this is just an ad
I think one of the applications for this sort of thing might be people with muscular/skeletal disorders, some of which can be quite specific in terms of which muscle groups are affected. That might be an interesting (if challenging!) place for James to start looking for a use-case for his next exoskeleton project...
That's where I am at with this. Lgmd1d here
This guy has the best attic
Looks really cool would love to see a video on how to create one for a lower budget, what mechanism is the alan key adjusting to increase resistance?
this would make a good base with some mods to control your new robots.
okay tell me when theres somthing that can do lifting I think ill stick to a step ladder for using wrenches and stuff over head but my normal jobs involve lifting 15gk and up repetitively the fact you didnt do 1 bit of heavy lifting makes this look like a total waste of time
That would explain why he included the drinking cofee quip
@@ericblenner-hassett3945 ah ya sorry almost broke my arm trying to drink my last coffee
It's a battle against fatigue. When you work a entire week back to back with no rest and constant hours being flung your way, your body takes a toll. This reduces that toll.
@@HaloWolf102 I do heavy labor everyday and I can tell you this wont help your still fighting it a ladder or suction lift will be alot more practical
@@blackcat-sv5rj You're thinking way too specific. This system is not intrusive that you might think. It's an AID. Of course a suction lift would work better, that's actually designed for heavy lifting, this is not.
Very cool!!!
We use this at work all the time! Highly recommend this suit!
Do you put in on before a shift or just for a specific task?
@@GotYourWallet Before a shift. Sometimes before tasks. Just depends on what we're lifting or holding on to
Wow, that's a tidy little unit. Do you have a favorite now?
3 years and still waiting for the exosuit to be finished in the first place...
"... I just happen to have a spare torso knocking around... "
heh
come back in 10 years? grr!!!
It's cool to see companies trying to make exoskeletons. How much does this one cost exactly? Maybe by the time I'm old and have trouble moving around there will be an exoskeleton I can just wear all the time to assist me.
ive been using it when i shampoo, works great 🙂
The commercial sacros exo skeleton seems to be the high end available today.
"Drinking coffee is a repetitive task while procrastinating projects," he says while I'm drinking coffee, procrastinating calculus work.
If you ever need nothing done, I'm here for you anytime.
Really gonna make us wait until 2021 huh?
Bruh !!
U r so honest
so it's an ergonomic counterweight system disguised as an exoskeleton? that's just not what that word means
That is pretty much exactly what that word means. What you think about is Powered Exoskeleton
@@14zrobot well an exoskeleton is a skeletal structure on the outside of your Bodie that either protects you or transfers load off you this product is not an exo skeleton it is a shoulder brace as all it does is support your arms against your shoulders much like a knee brace does
@@arnearne12345 so you won't even google knowing the right key words. Ok, you are totally right then
@@14zrobot so please tell me what is the shell of a beetle then?
an exoskeleton doesn't have to be powered it just has to take load off the body and transfer it elsewhere and can also be protective this device transfers force from your upper arms to your back reducing strain on your muscles but again it just moves the force around your body that's like calling a harness an exoskeleton because it distributes force more evenly then a rope does
When does the bottom half come out
Is there a model for the legs and lower back? Monotonous work as line assembly would love something like this or repeated short movement like kitchenwork
Is there a reason why none of the workers are actually wearing these?
I Like this
I think Adam Savage should share his new dog with this guy
Cool.
The best exosuit that's available for use (sadly just rent and it has to be for an injury in clinics) is, Japan's: Cyberdyne.
It's available to us at a hospital 15 minutes away from here but per session is expensive X-D
God bless.
This is actually more affordable lol. Some retail employees and manufacturing companies buy Mates for use.
It’s slowly turning into Call of duty advanced warfare
not often you see "made in the UK"... makes you wonder who'll be able to afford it. side note: if you like woodworking channels you'll enjoy Lignum... he has a 6-axis milling robot arm that he puts to some interesting uses when creating furniture.
Why am i getting call of duty Advanced Warfare flashbacks
Rolling ladder/ mobile stairs seems more cost effective option.
James Bruton uses new EXO suit to lift up old EXO suit…Next episode ATLAS, Boston dynamics…
STALKER, JOIN DUTY
working with your arms up all day is impossible. having a simple passive assist like this would make many job easier.
This is an AD?! OOOH BOI I don't mind! Exoskeletons are epic
To be honest they are pushing the definition of exoskeleton a bit, Its a couple of pieces of plastic with some elasticated strapping in between. Sure it's meant to be an ad but Ffs you could literally achieve the same thing with a $5 bungee cord connected to a couple of wrist straps.
In my opinion this is about as useful as a heated beer koozie
I wrote this comment near the start of the vid and didn't feel like rewriting it.
Try your max bench with that
Looks like he’s on the pay roll!
I recently found out that older Japanese folk are wearing mechanical exoskeletons to extend their work lives as Japan has one of the oldest populations.
Looks interesting although I'm trying to work out how it keep the tension in the user's arms.
the bands you can see on the back is pulling on the back and shoulder fixtures making support for the arms by bracing towards lower back of the user.... probably
Sow lower arm wil break wen upper arm lifts heavy weights or just dont... and use ann alankey instead?
Does it have an audio jack ?
Dope
I have an urge to remove the backpack style strap and just directly put it on to a plate carrier, lol
Hi, I'm a quadriplegic cerebral palsy patient. I can't stand & can't walk alone. My hand movement is also limited. I can't do my personal works without the help of my parents. Now I want to do my personal works by myself. Do you have any devices which will help me to do my personal works by myself? or do you have any devices which will make my brain's deactive cells active without any surgery?
It'd be excellent for keeping your middle fingers up during a boris johnson speech XD
Snowflake..
@@GrahamDIY its clearly a joke chill mate
@@GrahamDIY Or a Putin's.
So what’s it suppose to be used for
You can probably look into HAL, the japanese exo suit by CYBERDYNE. Seems to be the direction you're looking to go in
So its better to use the mate to swap a lightbulb?
6:01 I think this is a more realistic use case of it. 🤣
Jokes aside, that can't even hold the pp up....... 🤣
show some empathy for us heavy pp dudes
viagra exists for a reason
@@NTMA11 Well that's why I said that for.
@@Lucian_Andries sorry fam, i had just woken up and i was a bit hazy
Can you use it to drive a car without power steering?
So effectively it just holds your arms up abit
I'm an archer, and looking at the design, i'm wondering if this could let you pull higher weight. I know totally defeats the purpose of the sport, but injuries are a thing at high pull weights.
Wow!
Well I ain't gonna lie but it looks like more effort than help
okay, two pointers. . . . at around 3:00 onwards there's a muddy field of low electronic hum from the machinery, the more I hear it the deeper into a dark abyss I feel I am being pulled....so you might want to put a high pass filter on that plus the link to the Comau seems to be broken when this video is being used as an advertisement on CZcams.
About 4or5 years ango he came to my school
He needs an exoskeleton.
Is "next year" this year?
I I am new to the channel
I'm also new here, so yea I don't know too
Wait! So the exosuit just makes it harder to move your arms so that you can have them above your head longer.
It's exactly the same case with bodybuilding
That thing looks pretty uncomfortable over long periods. Had any chafing issues in your experience?
ITS HAPPENING WE ARE GONNA HAVE COOL ASF EXOSUITS
This suit meh but hey we are getting there
Have you ever done any work with "The hacksmith"? I think your skill sets would compliment each other|!
Reminds me of the surge
Hi, where can I buy the t-shirt?
The real advertisement is the Bruton Exosuit Mk. 3
Make an offroad gocart
Not an exosuit it’s an auxiliary device designed to help workers prevent injuries and do more stuff
