Taishan VIGX exoskeleton robot: Technology empowers mountaineering and opens a new era of cultural and tourism intelligence

Developed by Shenzhen Kenqi TechnologyVIGXπ series mountain climbing exoskeleton robot, became popular due to the popularity of vacation rentals in Taishan scenic spots and the shortage of demand. With its advantages of lightweight, strong power and intelligence, it has become a benchmark case of technology empowering cultural tourism, and also promoted consumer-grade exoskeletons from concept to mass application.

1. Core parameters and product highlights

• Extremely lightweight:Adoptcarbon fiber compositeMade, the whole machine is only1.2 kg, 40% lighter than earlier products, and no weight-bearing feeling when worn.
• Super bearing capacity：Affordable200 kg instant pulling force, the bionic joint fits the leg and has both structural strength and durability.
• Long battery life: built-in8 hours long-lasting battery, one charge supports the entire climb of Mount Tai; passes when going downhillenergy cycle technologyRecover gravitational potential energy and convert it into electrical energy to further extend battery life.
• Intelligent and multifunctional: In addition to core assistance, integratedEmergency call for help, voice explanation of scenic spots, 4G positioning(Scenic spot operation version) and other functions, which have the dual value of assistance and safety services.

2. Core working principle: perception-decision-execution closed loop

1. Accurate perception: jointPressure sensor + inertial navigation module, capturing data such as muscle force, stride length, terrain slope, etc. in real time, with a response speed of milliseconds.
2. Intelligent decision-making: The built-in AI chip analyzes movement intentions through machine learning algorithms,Complete terrain analysis within 30ms, automatically matching the boosting strategy.
3. dynamic execution: When climbing steep slopes (such as Taishan Shibapan), automatically enhance the lifting force of the knee joint.Save up to 50% of physical energy consumption; Intelligent switching mode between flat ground and downhill to adapt to different scenarios.

3. Four core technical barriers

1. Lightweight material technology: Aviation-grade carbon fiber + titanium alloy components, taking into account light weight and high strength, suitable for long-term outdoor wear.
2. energy recovery technology: Downhill damping generates electricity, increasing battery life by 20%, solving the pain points of outdoor charging.
3. Multimodal human-computer interaction: Fusion of multiple sensors to automatically identify flat ground, stairs, steep slopes and other scenes,12 levels of assist intensity adjustable, senseless switching.
4. Personalized AI adaptation: Based on cloud gait database,User habits can be remembered after 3-5 uses, to achieve an intelligent experience that becomes more and more suitable the more you use it.

4. Industry value and application prospects

1. Cultural tourism field: Technology empowers scenic spot upgrades

• Lower the threshold for climbing, allowing the elderly and those with weak physical fitness to easily climb to the summit.Improve tourist capacity and satisfaction in scenic spots。
• CreateScenic spot rental + intelligent serviceThe new model has become a new growth point in cultural tourism technology and has been implemented in scenic spots such as Mount Tai and Zhangjiajie.

2. Cross-field expansion potential

• medical rehabilitation: Assists rehabilitation training for stroke and spinal cord injury patients, replacing traditional bulky rehabilitation equipmentKenji Technology。
• industrial scene: Reduce the burden on workers’ lumbar spine, reduce the risk of handling injuries, and improve work efficiency.
• Elderly care / daily life: Help the elderly walk, go up and down stairs, improve their ability to live independently, and adapt to the needs of an aging society.

5. Industry Significance: A Milestone for Consumer Exoskeletons

• Technically, breakthroughLightweight, low cost, high reliabilityThree major bottlenecks, the price has been reduced to several thousand yuan, achieving universal benefit.
• On the market, verifiedCulture and tourism, health and wellness, sportsThe rigid demand of such scenarios has opened up a trillion-level market space for the industry.
• Ecologically, promoteTechnology + Culture and Tourism + WellnessDeep integration provides a new path for digitalization and aging-friendly transformation of scenic spots.
