Japan's mastermind of pure new technology. Therefore, the latest technology applications where a lot of emerging. Ranging from simple, to the complex to help mankind. One of the complex to help people is the emergence of a robot suit technology to help farmers.
Researchers at the University of Agriculture & Technology of Tokyo have successfully demonstrated a robotic outfit equipped with eight motors and 16 sensors. Clothing weighing 25 pounds was made to help Japanese farmers who are elderly to remain productive plant in his old age.
This robot outfit will give strength to the leg muscles and joints. Thus, this technology can help farmers during bending or lifting hands. According to Professor Shigeki Toyama, scientists involved in this project, these technologies can be applied in various industries, but this technology has great potential in the agricultural industry, which requires great strength to manage it.
Unfortunately, the technology is said to be released with an expensive price, which is about U.S. $ 5000-US $ 10,000. And, who knows, if sold for less, will make the farmers could afford it. Thus, we are more productive so they can make us a leading agricultural country back. Or, maybe who knows, this will inspire children of the nation to make the technology less expensive for our farmers?
