Wearable robotic exoskeletons

Many industries such as logistics, construction and agriculture, frequenctly require workers to transport heavy loads which puts substantial stress on the lower back, increasing the risk of developing low back pain. Such musculoskeletal disorder can not only cause great productiveness loss and medical cost of industries, but also negatively affect workers' working efficiency and quality of life.

Our wearable robotic exoskeleton can be applied in various industries and activities where individuals frequently engage in heavy lifting, repetitive bending, or prolonged bending, which can strain the back muscles and lead to musculoskeletal disorders.

In industrial settings, back support exoskeletons can be utilized by workers involved in material handling, logistics, construction, and manufacturing. By offering mechanical support to the lower back, these exoskeletons help distribute the load and reduce the strain on the wearer's muscles, enabling safer and more efficient work.

In healthcare, these exoskeletons find application in helping caretakers when caring for patients, particularly for those who has limited mobility. In addition to the reduction of strain on the caretaker, the additional assistance can reduce the chance injury to both parties from falling due to general strength limitations.
