How the Prosthesis Mech works!
Published on May 30, 2018
We get a demo of Prothesis, the exoskeleton mech suit designed by Jonathan Tippett and his team. This 8000 pound mech is directly controlled by Jonathan using his arms and legs, without any stabilizing gimbals or gyros. Jonathan explains how he has to essentially relearn to crawl in the Prosthesis, and we see and hear this massive machine lumber across a parking lot.
Prosthesis Racing Mech at Maker Faire 2019

"Prosthesis", the racing mech exoskeletal suit by Furrion Exo-Bionics, being demonstrated by mech pilot Jonathan Tippett at Maker Faire 2019. The mech's legs are moved by direct mapping from the pilot's arms and legs with no stability enhancement, requiring the human to learn to balance and walk/run as the mech.
He built a racing monster machine! - Guinness World Records
Jan 28, 2020
Jonathan Tippett, from Vancouver, Canada, has always been fascinated by the dynamic between humans and machines.
This is what led him to design and build the world’s largest tetrapod exoskeleton, which he named PROSTHESIS.
PROSTHESIS measures 3.96 m (12 ft 11 in) tall, 5.1 m (16 ft 8 in) long and 5.51 m (18 ft 1 in) wide.
The exo-skeleton’s body and legs are made from 1,600 kg (3,527 lb) of Chromoly steel tubing, a high-performance material typically used in aerospace and racing car industry.
The machine can’t operate without a pilot (person) inside, connecting the high-power hydraulics to the highly sensitive control system in the exo-frame.

Prosthesis: mech racing | Alpha mech pilot program
Aug 20, 2020
"Prosthesis: Mech Racing | Alpha Mech Pilot Program" on KickstarterFourteen years ago we had a grand vision for a global racing league that would pit multiple world-class athletes in head-to-head competitions, through complex technical obstacle courses, wearing giant powered mech suits. The technology did not exist. The sport did not exist. Many thought it was impossible, but our team was determined to bring this dream to life.
