Raytheon Sarcos' Prototype Increases User's Strength With Dexterity
Meghan Young — October 18, 2011 — Tech
Raytheon Sarcos' most recent exoskeleton prototype looks like something that would be used on the fictional planet Pandora by the human invaders. With its giant arms, it would surely be strong enough to battle against the native Na'vi tribe as well as dig out the priceless resource cleverly dubbed unobtainium. That said, it wouldn't be surprising if the Raytheon Sarcos exoskeleton was used for similar tasks, but on a more realistic level.
Not only is the Raytheon Sarcos exoskeleton strong, it is also a lot more dextrous than its crane counterparts. It won't require much training either as it is controlled via arm movements rather than traditional buttons and knobs.
The Raytheon Sarcos exoskeleton can be used for construction sites and rescue missions.

Trend Themes
1. Giant Arms Exoskeletons - Exoskeleton technology is advancing towards exoskeletons with giant arms that can potentially increase user's strength with dexterity.
2. Arm Movement-based Controls - Exoskeletons that rely on arm movements instead of traditional buttons and knobs are becoming more common, offering an opportunity for more intuitive and efficient control systems.
3. Dextrous Exoskeletons - Exoskeletons that are both strong and dextrous are emerging as a disruptive innovation for various industries, enabling new applications and operational efficiencies.
Industry Implications
1. Construction - Giant arm exoskeletons have the potential to increase workers' strength and improve their productivity, while also reducing the risk of injury and fatigue in the construction industry.
2. Search and Rescue - Exoskeletons equipped with giant arms and advanced dexterity can support rescue workers in lifting debris, maneuvering through obstacles, and performing delicate search and rescue operations in disaster areas.
3. Manufacturing - Exoskeletons that offer dextrous and intuitive controls can improve manufacturing processes by reducing worker fatigue and errors, and by enabling more precise and efficient movements during assembly tasks.
