Death-Stranding-Inspired Exoskeleton Can Easily Lift 50Kg Of Cargo

The exoskeleton would allow couriers to carry a whole lot more stuff. At first glance, the exoskeleton looks like a cosplay of the Death Stranding game.

A food delivery company from China has put to test an exoskeleton that its delivery staff could wear. This exoskeleton would allow the delivery guy to carry a whole lot more stuff. At first glance, the exoskeleton looks like a cosplay of the Death Stranding game.

The suits are from USL Robotics, a company specializing in exoskeletons to aid workers in lifting heavy loads in industries such as logistics, mail, and transport.

And in this specific case, the firm is partnering with El.me, a China-based service that is similar to Uber Eats. The food delivery company is reportedly testing an exoskeleton suit from ULS to help couriers carry large stacked boxes on their backs. And the image oddly represents Death Stranding.

The picture of the exoskeleton was first posted on Weibo, China’s Twitter before becoming viral on Western social media.

A lot of gamers have joked that the designers behind ULS Robotics’ exoskeleton might be a fan of Game Stranding to have come up with this design.

However, in fact, some Chinese carriers who involve in the project have said that rather than being a recently emerging idea, the suit has been tested for several years already.

El.me isn't the first firm planning on using exoskeletons to help its staff carry heavy loads. Delta Airlines is also reportedly working with an exoskeleton company from Utah Sarcos Robotics to test its powered exoskeletons to see if it help luggage workers at lifting luggage as well as other repetitive tasks. The suit called the Guardian XO was showcased at CES 2020.
