Fanny Pack Robot Powers User Through Miles at CES

A user donned a $2,000 exoskeleton called the Wirobotics Wim S, which is attached to their back and provides power to enhance walking ability without increasing speed or strength. The wearable device was successfully tested for the second year in a row by a journalist who attended the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. This time, it provided significant assistance, allowing the user to cover long distances with less energy expenditure than before. According to the manufacturer, the Wim S is designed for individuals who need an extra boost while engaging in daily activities or jobs that require prolonged walking. The device’s ability to reduce fatigue and increase stride length makes it a valuable tool for people seeking assistance with mobility challenges.
