Developed by Japan-based company ATOUN, Model Y is an exoskeleton that alleviates the burden of repetitive manual labour.

Constructed with a carbon fibre frame, the 9.9 lbs exoskeleton is fitted with motors and sensors to assist the user in lifting and lowering heavy loads.

When lifting a load, assist mode pulls the body up as if “stretching the waist” and brake mode supports the body as if “putting on the brakes” when lowering a load. The modes are automatically switched according to the user’s movement, negating the need for manual operation of controls. The max assist force is 10kgf.
