BES-HV

The BES-HV is a powered hip exoskeleton for lower-back support. It supports the back during lifting or any tasks that require a forward bend. In addition, the wearable robot can also act as a walking assist device by adding an augmentative torque at the hips. It is made and distributed by the Chinese exoskeleton producer ULS Robotics.

Description

The BES-HV is an electrically driven lumbar support wearable robot. It is an occupational device best suited for workers in physically strenuous environments.

Lifting & Walking Assistance:

This wearable robot provides support for two activities: lifting and walking. During lifting, the exoskeleton pushes on the user’s thighs, providing up to 30 kg (66 lb) of support. During walking, the exoskeleton pushes gently the legs forward. In addition to safeguarding the lower back, this wearable is also meant to reduce premature exhaustion and preserve workers’ energy levels during lifting and walking.
