    Hopefully you dont have a bad back as well, by the size of that “smart pack”.

    I’m a bit older and experience knee pain after sitting for any extended period of time. This would be great to help get up and get started before the pain works out!

    A backpack. Eye roll.

    You should try it with one on each knee!

    That’s EXPENSIVE yo! And the size of that backpack. you will get back pain if you don’t have it already. Lets see the final production unit when it comes out. Many more iterations before it becomes common place. Good start.

    The fact that I’d have to press a button on a remote to sit down is a little weird. But I understand this device is still under development, so it’ll probably get better and some day it’ll become a really great product.

    I think it would be better to go to the root source of what’s causing the pain. Using something like this that takes the load off is just going to make the supporting muscles weaker and make your knees even weaker. More likely to have pain.
    But for those with serious injuries, I can see this being useful, especially for rehab

    Will cost 80,000 dollars

    How much?

    Not worth the high price tag if it doesn’t help me kick through walls.

    Tbh this stuff is the future. Imagine this in 10 years, especially when combined with something like neuralink for paraplegics.

    You have to change the mode have just to sit?

    Why the bag is need ?

  23. mohammad zohorul

    July 8, 2021 at 10:28 pm

    The battery pack can be optimised for old people. But most of them won’t want to carry a bag.

  24. Not ReallyMe

    July 9, 2021 at 12:54 am

    2:08 so this is for your knee right?

  25. Scuffed

    July 9, 2021 at 3:00 am

    yeah… make the battery way smaller and id try it. I have a spinal problem and have knee pain. “smart pack” is just a big battery :/

    I think people rather have surgery than wearing all that gear just to go out.

    Hey, isn’t this the one Bruce Wayne had on in TDKR?

  28. MineHunter

    July 9, 2021 at 2:10 pm

    Yeah I’d rather get the surgery haha, it needs to be at least 3-4 times smaller

    That screen where no one can read in the sun and struggle to operate with hand half covering it

    It’s all good until the power runs out and u have to carry all that with a bad knee lol

  31. Richie P

    July 10, 2021 at 2:21 am

    LOL. “His grace is enough.” More like, “This brace is enough.”

  32. boltonky

    July 10, 2021 at 10:50 am

    Very interesting and guess good for some not others as i would be concerned with how it would over compensate then causing more stress on the other knee or back etc, soon as your back goes good luck.
    We should all become robots on no wait we can already clone ourselves for its more a morality question

    $7000 isn’t that bad. Let’s hope that the project succeeds.
