China has successfully created its first exoskeleton robot system,
specifically designed for complex mine environments,
marking a significant step toward human-machine collaborative rescue operations.
According to China Energy Investment Corporation, the system is now undergoing industrial testing.
and has completed three rounds of practical training validation with a national mine rescue team demonstrating excellent adaptability and stability in underground conditions.
The project was initiated in 2025 by Shendong Coal Group of China Energy Investment Corporation.
in partnership with the China Coal Research Institute,
aiming to address critical challenges in mine disaster response,
including limited equipment intelligence and constrained individual rescue capabilities.
The robot features an innovative rigid,
flexible coupling structural design integrating upper and lower limb power assist modules with an embedded multi-sensor system and AI controller.
This configuration enables efficient human-machine collaboration in underground operations.
Key technical specifications include over six hours of continuous operation,
movement recognition accuracy exceeding 95%,
and a maximum load capacity of 80 kilograms for carrying and dragging.
