Robotic-assistive Powered Clothing undergarments

Hello ATS. I thought I'd share a tech advancement. A company known as Seismic has developed what it calls "Wearable robotics" or "robotic underwear" and it plans to bring it to market in limited supply this year.

“Our first product is integrating what we call intelligent wearable strength, focused on the core,” says Mahoney. “It symbiotically provides assistant to the hips and lower back to support mobility and posture. There are many people that can use that, but we’re really focusing on where the need is. It’s the broad consumer, wellness market.” The company’s initial demographic is the aging baby boomer generation — wearers who are still mobile but can use an extra assist from Seismic’s textile-based tendons. It’s a far more subtle take on the company’s original model, a DARPA-funded spin-off of research organization, SRI International.

I think this is pretty cool. This tech is a step below actual Exoskeletons or Iron Man suits but it's a step in the right direction; nonetheless. This will come in handy in many fields from sports to construction. Can;t wait to get a pair. What says ATS?

Video isn't working. Will try to fix.


Got it!

I want some robotic underwear that will massage my testicles while I'm in a job interview.

Let us hope.... in a decade it might be established and mainstream....

Yes, it could help a lot of people who have ailments not easily fixed with meds.

Will it make my junk look bigger?
Cuz I'm tired of stuffing.

They need to look into polyelastemers.

There was an article recently on polyelastemers here on ATS. They could be used as artificial muscles...

Might fit in well with the under suit.

It will all happen one day. Science fiction becomes science fact.

I always think of an old anime called 8 man.

People will buy augmented limbs and synthetic enhancement on the black market. It's going to be crazy. Hope I'm around to see it.

Strength enhancement I think is "right around the corner", probably next 8 to 10 years before minor effects show up in the military.

I just ordered a pair with the vibrating tip-tickler and the ball cupping adaptor.

"There are many people that can use that, but we’re really focusing on where the need is. It’s the broad consumer, wellness market.”

Well, that´s like saying: look we have this and that, we coud use it in medicine, but we focus on where the need is: wellness and consumers.

Did I get that wrong???

I can see it now...…

Someone is bound to say "Are you pleased to see me or is that a robot in your pants?!?!"
