Translation – In the “unmanned disaster systems research and development project” of NEDO, and a group of mobile robots, Ltd. and Institute, Chiba Institute of Technology, CYBERDYNE Corporation has developed a robot disaster response exoskeleton.

CYBERDYNE has developed a robot suit HAL ® for the most recent disaster recovery difficult even under harsh environments, intrusiveness of workers while ensuring the safety and health of workers, can work more safely manned.

The suit has tungsten shielding which reduces radiation exposure by about 50 percent, as well as a cooling system to prevent heatstroke. Much of the weight of the suit is supported by the exoskeleton's legs. Vital signs such as heart rate and body temperature will also be measured in real-time. It has tools for repairing damaged pipes.

Cyberdyne previously had exoskeletons for helping senior citizens and for nurses and workers who were helping senior citizens.
