Mount Tai is over 1000 meters high. To climb it, you need to go through a harsh proof: 7000 steps.
On social networks, there are many Chinese who publish videos trying to get the harsh walk – many faint, tremble, lose their air. But now everything has changed.
According to, some visitors were already hiring “climbing companions” to help them reach the summit, a kind of helper who pushes. But travel agencies opted for even greater innovation: exoskeletons.
This technology allows humans to perform movements more easily, and is applied several times to people with motor disabilities to help them walk, for example.
The robotic skeletons of Mount Tai are coordinated by IA and debuted in late January.
Techs make life easier. Mount Tai is the top of China’s Five Great Mountains. This climbing-assist robot can help many elderly people reach the summit.

Each robotic exoskeleton works with two batteries, lasting about five hours, according to Wang Houzhe, deputy secretary of the Taishan Cultural Tourism Group Committee. Generally, It takes six hours to rise to the top.
“Experience is definitely easier,” said another tourist. “But when I took it, I felt a little clumsy to walk alone“.
