Chinese Scientists Develop Robo-Diving Suit Reducing Oxygen Consumption by 40%

Chinese robo-diving suit could help users consume almost 40% less oxygen

Chinese scientists have created a diving suit that could help users glide through the sea with ease. In tests, the exoskeleton reduced the diver’s oxygen consumption by nearly 40 per cent. The flexible suit not only provides physical assistance but also syncs precisely with the swimmer’s own rhythm, dramatically boosting underwater agility. In tasks ranging from seabed surveys and pipeline inspections to salvage operations and even covert military missions, divers must constantly change the r...
