Core Viewpoint - The introduction of "exoskeleton robots" at the Badaling Great Wall enhances the hiking experience for tourists, particularly benefiting the elderly and those with mobility issues [1][15][17]. Group 1: Technology and Implementation - Exoskeleton robots provide assistance by lifting legs uphill and stabilizing knees downhill, offering nearly 2 kilograms of support [4][15]. - These devices have been adopted across various mountainous tourist attractions in China, including Tai Mountain, Huangshan, and Wuyishan [7][8]. - During the May Day holiday, Tai Mountain reported a rental volume of 700 units in a single day, indicating high demand for this technology [13]. Group 2: Market Dynamics and Consumer Behavior - The exoskeleton robots are seen as a solution to the challenges posed by an aging population, allowing older individuals to enjoy hiking without physical strain [15][30]. - The rental model for these devices is cost-effective, with a price of around 100 yuan for three hours, leading to a rapid return on investment compared to traditional infrastructure like cable cars [33]. - The technology is perceived as a "soft solution" to enhance the hiking experience without the drawbacks of heavy investments in physical infrastructure [29][34]. Group 3: User Experience and Feedback - Users have reported mixed experiences, with concerns about the weight and comfort of the devices, particularly in hot weather [38][39]. - There is a need for better user education and product iteration to improve understanding and usability of the exoskeleton robots [40][42]. - Future developments are focused on lightweight design, intelligent features, and improved battery systems to enhance user experience [48][49].
