You Can Now have the strength of A Titan!!!! by danielomede(m): 5:39pm On Oct 25, 2013 |
In the past, if you wanted to be able to be able to lift more weight you would have to spend months bulking up at the gym. Now, with a new invention from a group of design students at the University of Pennsylvania, you can just strap on an external bicep and you are ready to go. The bionic device, called the Titan Arm, is the brainchild of four mechanical engineering students who, in their final undergraduate year, built an upper-body exoskeleton that can be used in physical therapy and manual labor. The invention won its inventors $ 10,000 in the Cornell Cup for Innovation and has recently been shortlisted for the 2013 Dyson award. The Titan Arm straps directly to a user's right arm to help lift heavy objects that the user wouldn't normally be able to lift. Its inventors believe that it will be useful in aiding physical rehabilitation, both for people who have suffered upper body injuries and for those with pre-existing muscular-skeletal disorders. The Titan Arm's inventors say the exoskeleton can also be used by people whose jobs require heavy lifting such as warehouse workers, removalists and couriers...the rest is on my website. |
