PROVIDED TO CHINA DAILY For 23-year-old Zhao Xiangcai, a college student in Tai'an, Shandong province, climbing Taishan Mountain — a popular scenic spot known for its steep terrain with over 7,000 steps — had always been a daunting task. The robotic exoskeleton, weighing just 1.8 kilograms, has been developed by the Taishan Cultural Tourism Group in collaboration with Kenqing Technology, a company based in Shenzhen, Guangdong province. Wang Houzhe, deputy Party secretary of Taishan Cultural Tourism Group, said that more than 400,000 tourists visited the mountain during the holiday, and the robotic exoskeleton received an enthusiastic response.
