The suit, which weighs only 3.8 kilograms, provides up to 25.5kgf of assistive force. The device can be utilized at various work sites, including manufacturing, farming, nursing care, logistics and construction, since its artificial muscle uses compressed air to provide assistive force without consuming electricity. By the end of April 2021, the number of products sold in the MUSCLE SUIT (R) series had surpassed 20,000 units, making it the fastest-selling (*) exoskeleton assist suit using artificial muscle in the world.
