They may not do as much as an Iron Man suit, but assist robots support the lives of workers and the elderly today. These exo-suits equipped with motors assist body mechanics, making it easier to move and work while reducing the risks of injury.

The ATOUN Model Y is one such assist suit. The ATOUN Model Y is 40% lighter in weight than the current model. It replaces the metal frame with one made from resin, with more compact motors and batteries. The current ATOUN is being used at construction sites, logistic centers, factories, and farms. Based on user feedback, the Model Y has gained improvements in accuracy and durability.
