Artus (exoskeleton)

2024: Product Announcement

In early February 2024, the German company Digity introduced an exoskeleton called Artus, designed specifically to protect fingers from stretching and damage. The product can be used during certain operations at various enterprises, construction sites, etc.

It is noted that most exoskeletons are rather large and complex wearable devices designed to reduce the load on such parts of the body as shoulders, arms or back. Moreover, such products are very expensive. Artus differs in that it is designed to protect joints and fingertips, and its price as of February 1, 2024 is €100.

The device consists of three articulated nylon segments (two in the case of the thumb), which are interconnected by DigiLocks elements made of polymer and stainless steel. The design allows the fingers to move freely in the normal range while still preventing excessive bending. In the area of ​ ​ the fingerpads are areas made of DigiSkin soft foam: they allow you to maintain the tactile sensitivity necessary to perform accurate or delicate tasks, such as interacting with small and fragile objects.

In general, Artus protects your fingers from bumps, cuts and injuries that can occur during production tasks or repetitive operations. In particular, the exoskeleton is suitable for employees of factories and assembly lines that work with tight buttons and levers, all kinds of tools, etc. Over time, such workers may experience finger pain due to excessive exertion. The use of Artus, as stated by Digity, in this case allows you to solve the problem. The exoskeleton is offered to corporate clients from the industrial sector.^[1]
