  • 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.
