Arrived at the Skeletonics booth. There are two types of "motion expansion type suits" that are not to be searched.


There are white and blue aircraft, but the blue aircraft is the "fifth generation" and it is the latest model.


A person got on board.


Instantly transformed into a huge robot!


It is structured such that the movement of the pilot is transmitted to the airframe as it is, and it works just as if his body got bigger. It is also possible to walk as it is, an expansion suit that can realize dynamic movement that can not be expressed by the human body. Actuators etc are not mounted, almost all the power to move is what is called your own power, and the pilot is loaded with a load proportional to the suit weight and magnification rate of about 40 kg.


As the head of the pilot fits snugly into the body of the robot, so to speak,Apple seedIt is like a landmate as used in "and the humanoid power driven by simplifying the arm suit of the Ghost in the Shell.


The joint part of the shoulder also directs the movement of the pilot.


The mechanism of the finger has also been reproduced up to one ... ...


In the place where the pilot grips, four buttons linked with the fingers of the robot arm are attached. By pressing the button, the arm of Skeletonics can follow and grasp the fist or grab something.


By the way, only the finger part is battery driven.


Since the feet can be fixed firmly, you should be able to walk with confidence. In addition, as I asked the developer, "Do you want to fall?", "As if riding a bicycle, since I feel the feeling that" more than danger is going on ", if it does not go beyond that It is all right "and a persuasive answer came back.


In addition, although I could not see the actual movement at the CEATEC booth, I can see where I'm flying in the following movies.

Skeleton Nikkus is repeatedly improving every day, and in the future it is looking forward to complete completion of a hybrid type that combines human driving with main battery from skeletonics to battery driving.
