Today the concept of robots and men co-existing in factories in terms of production is not new. But for Hyundai, there's a better way to do it. The Korean car company is developing an exoskeleton robotic suit that aims to help soldiers and factory workers in lifting heavy objects.

Hyundai released a prototype of their new 'Alien-style mechanical pilot' with super-strength which is somewhat comparable to Tony Stark's fictional Iron Man suit, according to a report by IBTimes.

The Iron Man suit is a wearable exoskeleton. The dark blue suit has a safety harness with arms and huge legs which will enable the wearer to lift heavy objects, a trait which will be very useful in the production industry.

To keep the anticipation burning, Hyundai did not release any further details about the new technology they are developing. But Hyundai announced on its blog that the wearable suit is for commercialization and can be used for multiple purposes.

It will not only help factory workers in lifting heavy objects, it can also prevent accidents and injuries in the workplace. By helping the wearer lift heavy objects, hip and knee injuries can be prevented.

For military purposes, the soldiers can use the Iron Man suit as a defensive weapon. It will also enable soldiers to travel farther without exhaustion.

Last year, Hyundai developed a robotic machine to aid the elderly and the disabled in their rehabilitation process, according to a report by Gizmodo.

Same thing with the Iron Man Suit, Hyundai wanted the application to extend to persons with disabilities, paraplegic and people with limited mobility.

According to Hyundai, the exoskeleton is part of their 'Next Mobility' initiative which will pave the way for the new era of transport and wearable robots which can lead to 'free movement of people and things.'
