Robotic exoskeletons from the company Sarcos will soon be obtained by first testers. These will be the employees of Delta Airlines and also the soldiers of the US Army. The exoskeleton gives them up to 20 times their regular strength for up to 8 hours.

Become 20 Times Stronger

It is almost exactly a year since the American maker of robotic exoskeletons Sarcos showcased their exoskeleton Guardian XO. And on this year's CES 2020 that is currently going on and bombards the media with incredible technological gadgets Sarcos in cooperation with Delta Airlines announced that the employees of the airline will be among the first to test the exoskeleton.

Guardian XO is essentially a wearable robot that uses batteries. It truly gives its wearer inhuman strength and stamina. While looking like a set piece from some hard science-fiction movie it is real. Its power is enough to carry itself and an additional load of up to 91 kilograms. Getting into the exoskeleton should take you less than 30 seconds and it reacts to the movements of its wearer in a matter of milliseconds while enhancing their strength roughly twenty times.

The Future Is Now

Guardian XO can work for roughly 8 hours thanks to its batteries and the batteries can be swapped while it is being used. This incredible robotic tool allows humans to do things that would be very hard with traditional tools or sometimes even impossible.

Delta Airlines is cooperating with Sarcos on the development of exoskeletons since 2018. Some selected employees will soon get some of the first Guardians and will test them thoroughly in the first quarter of this year. Guardian XO should be used in various tasks and situations in airline transportation from working in loading, manipulation with heavy parts in repair shops up to moving heavy machinery of airports.

The robotic exoskeletons should ease the work and increase the productivity of certified employees. But Delta Airlines also want to test if people who do not have the physical conditions for hard work could perform it while wearing the exoskeleton.

Delta Airlines will be getting the Guardian XO exoskeletons for testing in January – at the same time as the US Army. Other companies should get their exoskeletons sometime later this year.
