The suit weighs only 13 pounds but can carry up to 33 pounds. With a battery life of 8 hours and a price tag slightly over eight thousand dollars, this exoskeleton may actually be an affordable purchase for certain companies. Some even call it the world\u2019s first affordable powered exoskeleton.<\/p>\n

Panasonic says will start selling its carbon-fibre exoskeleton in September 2015. The Osaka-based company also plans to offer leasing for around 50,000 yen a month. Panasonic hopes to sell as many as 1,000 suits a year. The company also plans to launch its second-generation exoskeleton in 2020. This improved version will allow workers to carry 176 pounds. The device is developed by\u00a0Activelink, a start-up launched by Panasonic in 2003.<\/p>\n
