Hyundai and Kia's wearable robot 'Xble Shoulder' in action at agricultural sites.

Hyundai Motor and Kia's wearable robot 'X-ble Shoulder' is expanding its application range from manufacturing to various other industries, including agriculture. Kim Kyu-jeong, the team leader of the Hyundai Motor and Kia Robotics Lab who led the development of the X-ble Shoulder, said, "No matter how excellent the function is, if wearing and moving are inconvenient, it is difficult to use it continuously in industrial sites," adding, "We focused on implementing natural movements to reduce shoulder burden while allowing users to move freely and comfortably." In industrial sites, the angle at which the arms are used varies depending on the type of overhead work, so Hyundai Motor and Kia developed the X-ble Shoulder to adjust the point where the maximum torque value is applied.
