LG's wearable robot will make you look like RoboCop
The CLOi SuitBot is part of a whole line of concept robots from LG.
The CLOi SuitBot
At this year's IFA trade show, LG displayed the CLOi SuitBot, a robotic exoskeleton that's supposed to support the legs of the person wearing it. There's no word on when it will be available.
Potential uses
LG designed the SuitBot to give people like factory employees greater strength and mobility when they do manual labor.
How to wear it
The SuitBot has built-in "sandal-type" shoes. LG says they'll automatically adjust so the wearer can get in and out of the robot more easily.
As comfortable as it can be
LG says the company designed SuitBot with a "comfortable fit and naturally rotating joints."
But does it work?
The SuitBot was displayed on a pedestal during the trade show, so we didn't have a chance to see it in action.
CLOi line of robots
The SuitBot is part of LG's CLOi range of service robots. We first saw the line at CES this year, and they were on display at IFA, as well.
CLOi CleanBot
This robot is supposed to be a master at cleaning.
CLOi GuideBot
This robot is supposed to help you find your away around places like airports.
