Guardian XO
How long does the Guardian XO exoskeleton stay charged?
The exoskeleton is designed to operate near-continuously with hot-swappable batteries.
How is the Guardian XO exoskeleton powered?
Three hot-swappable lithium-ion batteries power the exoskeleton. This allows for near-continuous operation.
How much of the Guardian XO exoskeleton weight will the operator feel when wearing it?
The exoskeleton is designed so that the human operator bears none of the suit or payload weight. However, for better payload context and operational safety, a percentage of that weight can be optionally felt by the operator to offer a safer, more optimal operator experience.
Can the Guardian XO exoskeleton climb stairs?
In order to navigate work areas, the exoskeleton is designed and tested to execute a single step-up or step-down on a 10” (25 cm) tall step.
How fast can the Guardian XO exoskeleton walk?
An operator in the exoskeleton can walk at about 3 mph (4.8 kph), an average walking pace for a human.
Can an operator reach overhead while wearing the Guardian XO exoskeleton?
Yes. The Guardian XO exoskeleton has 24 degrees of freedom or rotational joints. The degrees of freedom in the shoulders allow the robot’s arms to be raised and lowered – front to back, as well as laterally – similar to the range of motion of human shoulders.
How much can the Guardian XO exoskeleton lift and manipulate?
The exoskeleton can lift and manipulate up to 200 lb (90 kg) repeatedly without exertion, strain, or injury.
