Muscle Suit Every", a wearable robot from Innophis

Sales of Muscle Suit Every, a wearable robot produced by Innophis (Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo), are increasing rapidly, thanks to the company's decision to lower the price of the new model from 498,000 yen to 136,000 yen (excluding consumption tax) when it was launched in November.Muscle suits have been known to reduce the burden of back pain in nursing care and agricultural work. "However, many customers were reluctant to buy them because they cost around 500,000 yen,' he said. The company has expanded its sales channels, and the general public has come to see the product in stores. "In addition to conventional customers, inquiries come from many fields, such as home care," he said, raising a happy cry.
