In China, a new smart wearable mine rescue robot has officially entered full-scale operational drills.

Developed by China-based world's mega-miner Guoneng Shendong Coal Group Co., Ltd. and AI expertise Coal Science Research Institute, this high-tech exoskeleton suit supports up to 80 kg, operates for over 6 hours and reduces operator fatigue by 20%. The AI controller reads human movement with 95% accuracy to provide instant walking assistance.

The suit uses flexible joints, built-in sensors and an AI brain to make rescuers’ jobs easier and much safer.
