Future Narrative
After the AI revolution of the 2030s, humans struggled to keep pace with robots. Thankfully, some small but powerful innovations, like the Weyland PowerGlove PG-10, proved to be equalizers for those working to revitalize America’s infrastructure.
America’s need for systemic infrastructure renewal began with the Build Back Better initiative in the 2020s. Mega projects like the cross-country high-speed rail project continued into the 2050s and benefitted from AI enhancements and robotic support on construction sites nationwide. Over 250,000 men and women also answered the call to help rebuild America. Powered protective accessories like the Weyland PowerGlove PG-10 and other exoskeletal workwear have significantly multiplied their capacity, ensuring humanity’s continued role in improving the built environment for future generations.
The PG-10’s fingertip LED lighting enhances worker productivity and workplace safety.
PG-10 power assist elements increase grip and work with other lifting accessories to increase operator strength and endurance.
Temperature, fit and moisture management are all made possible with next-generation synthetic nano-leather.
Grip strength enhancements and temperature regulators are powered for months at a time by Weyland’s Micro-4 battery cells.
Futureproof is a series of occasional provocations illustrating possible future paths for technology and culture. Think postcards from the future.
