Jizai Arms is a “backpack” that turns a person into a “cyborg” with six robotic arms

Engineers from the University of Tokyo (Japan) have developed Jizai Arms, a device with six robotic

hands.

What it is

Jizai Arms is a special backpack,which is worn on a person’s back. And robotic arms are already connected to it - from one to six pieces. There are special ports for them, which are located at different levels. This is done so that the hands do not cling to each other during movements. The hands are removable, so they can be replaced with other grips.

The robotic arms are controlled by twoways - using a PC program or a controller, which looks like a smaller copy of the main unit, and manipulators attached to it. The robots can be controlled by the user or the operator.

At the same time, Jizai Arms weighs a lot - 4 kg with only one “backpack” and 14 kg with four arms. There are also problems with control - it is quite difficult to control several hands at the same time.
