CAS Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology publishes research on underwater soft exoskeleton PEAKED
What happened
The team led by Wu Xinyu at the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has developed a wearable underwater soft exoskeleton, PEAKED, designed to assist hip flexion and extension, supporting flutter kicking, breaststroke kicking, and underwater walking. The research was published as a focus article in Science Robotics on October 21. In prior human experiments, PEAKED reduced minute ventilation by 29.77% during flutter kicking, 25.70% during breaststroke kicking, and 18.35% during underwater walking. The study also noted that a practical system still needs to work with equipment such as diving cylinders and weights, maintain waterproofing under pressure, and be quickly doffable in emergencies.

The team led by Wu Xinyu at the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has developed a wearable underwater exoskeleton. Its representative system, PEAKED, is a soft underwater hip exoskeleton that assists hip flexion and extension, supporting flutter kicking, breaststroke kicking, and underwater walking. In prior human experiments, PEAKED reduced per-minute breathing volume by 29.77% during flutter kicking, 25.70% during breaststroke kicking, and 18.35% during underwater walking.
