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.

95% accuracy? I am sorry but that means it's wrong 1 time out of 20 and that seems bad.

I wish the article elaborated more on this but it appears that "Accuracy" in the exoskeleton industry tends to be a measure of:

  • how long the device takes to start moving along with its wearer, measured in miliseconds

  • where the device stops vs where it was meant to stop, i.e. if you lower your arm 45° but the exoskeleton follows along for 44°

  • wether or not a "movement intention" is detected at all, the industry seems to have mastered this for a while now

If I had to guess, the "95%" probably refers to the second measure, which sounds pretty good for a device that helps with lifting, carrying, and gross motor skill stuff.
