It’s amazing to see how the pandemic is creating problems for which some have solutions that otherwise we might have taken a few more years to see.
We talk about a exoskeleton that it is in the testing phase and that it can help parcel delivery and food delivery service in the face of the great avalanche of orders due to the mandatory confinement and the closing of shops in many countries.
It can carry up to 50 kg of weight and can be used for five hours in a row
Straight out of a video game: China’s ubiquitous food-delivery app https://t.co/O6kOT9RrJG caught the Chinese internet’s attention this week after testing a powered exoskeleton for its couriers. The exoskeleton endows the wearer with the strength to carry up to 50 kg with ease. pic.twitter.com/4elmxRhLDU

As much as it may seem an artifact of the future, these types of exoskeletons have been developing for a few years, except for the fact that the destination until now was exclusively military, for use in department stores or factories and for people with mobility problems, so they are not widespread and are not yet well known, at least in Spain.
We do not know the cost they have but we imagine that it is high and will depend on the model, as in any sector. The arrival of the coronavirus and its social and health consequences has led to the launch of this project, which seeks to know the feasibility it would have.
The person responsible for making this exoskeleton on everyone’s lips is Ele.eme, a Chinese company dedicated to home food delivery and that it has agreements in the country with companies such as Burguer King, McDonald’s or Pizza Hut, among others that we do not know how to name.
The specific model that some of its distributors are testing is the HEMS-GS from ULS Robotics, exclusive to the lower body train and which allows a load capacity up to 50 kg. Its autonomy is about five hours and the objective is that the employee can park the car, the bicycle or the motorcycle in an unrestricted area and move a large number of orders in a single trip and without fatigue.
That is, they can move by vehicle to the outskirts of a specific area or community of neighbors in which access is difficult or in which it is not possible to easily park, as in many large cities, download orders and place them in compartments of this exoskeleton that weighs about seven kg. Maybe it would be a bit bulky to carry on the bike …
Either way, this allows them to move faster, tire less, and be more productive. For example, in China it is very useful in the high old buildings without elevator But the advantages are many more and obvious, not the price it will have.
