In China, the number of porters is huge, and they are constantly handling heavy loads. For years, this physically demanding job has taken a toll on their health. However, things are changing for the better—porters can now wear a robotic arm that turns them into "supermen." This technology is no longer just a scene from science fiction; it's becoming a reality in real-world settings.
The Guardian GT, developed by Sarcos, is a wearable robotic arm that allows users to lift up to 500 pounds with ease. It’s designed to be both powerful and flexible, enabling workers in industries like construction and mining to handle heavy tasks safely. The device features two inductive controllers that move precisely according to the user’s commands. A camera on top of the robotic arm sends live video to the operator’s helmet, giving them a clear view of the work environment. Additionally, force feedback sensors help the user understand how much weight the arm is carrying, ensuring safe operation.
Sarcos CEO Ben Wolff explains that the design of the Guardian GT makes the user feel as if they are truly part of the robot. The distance from the camera to the shoulder mirrors human anatomy, creating an immersive experience. Even inexperienced users can operate it with ease. Safety is also a key focus—Sarcos has developed a patented “disengagement control†system that prevents the exoskeleton from pressing against the body, ensuring a secure fit.
Beyond lifting, the Guardian GT can perform complex tasks like pressing buttons or turning switches, making it ideal for dangerous environments such as nuclear power plants. As Wolff states, “Humans make decisions to guide robotic actions, which makes the work more precise and efficient.â€
Sarcos isn’t stopping here. They plan to launch two additional models: the Guardian XO, which allows users to lift up to 80 pounds, and the Guardian XO Max, capable of lifting 200 pounds. These devices are controlled by humans and can be operated either directly or remotely.
In addition, Sarcos has created the Guardian S, a snake-like robot designed for inspection and monitoring tasks. Although the Guardian GT is still not officially priced, Ben Wolff mentioned an estimated cost of $50,000—roughly equivalent to a year’s salary for an average worker. With this device, one operator can effectively do the work of two people, reducing injuries and boosting productivity.
Sarcos aims to revolutionize the future of heavy industry by combining human flexibility with robotic strength. The Guardian GT series is already accepting custom orders, and the Guardian XO will be commercially available in 2019. This is just the beginning of a new era in wearable robotics.
