Motorized Knee Makes You More Efficient At Running

The talks at Japan Tsukuba University seem to have come up with a rather interesting device, a motorized knee to help folks be more efficient at running. that motorized knee can be attached to a person’s body, after which it’ll help you by supporting the flexing of the knee, supposedly allowing the runner to use 30% less of the muscle ability needed to run normally. The main downside is that the kit is about 5kg heavy, so you’ll still need to

lug it around. that is supposed to be commercialized in the next 3-years, so keep an eye out for your chance to turn into Robocop.
