Against the backdrop of upcoming expeditions to the Moon and Mars, specialists from the American institute MIT are searching for solutions for astronauts, capable of giving them the ability to effectively rise to their feet after a fall. Thus, engineers have developed an exoskeleton called SuperLimbs, which includes a pair of additional robotic arms.

It is envisioned that the robotic limbs will be attached to the lower part of the spacesuit backpack, where, in addition to the life support system, they will be fitted with the actuators and control system for the device. This system will detect whether the astronaut has fallen and provide him with additional support by means of an extra pair of arms, which will allow him to rise to his feet unhindered from a lying or sitting position with a minimum loss of oxygen and energy.
