IHMC’s EVA exoskeleton gets tested in the real world, previewing what the future of wearable robotic systems could look like. This system is designed for those who work in hazardous environments and need to carry heavy personal protective equipment.
This marks the first time EVA has been tested out of the lab, and successfully demonstrated the ability of the device to operate outside of controlled environments, which is a critical first step to eventual field usage. It was developed in collaboration with Sandia National Laboratories and funded by the U.S. Department of Energy.
