ASU has taken part in developing an exoskeleton suit designed to help manual laborers who move heavy objects or are bending over all day. They want to make injuries in certain fields 'a thing of the past.'
PHOENIX — The term “exoskeleton” often is associated with sci-fi and futuristic films, such as “Terminator,” “Aliens” and the “Avengers” series.
The suit, which weighs only 8 pounds, consists of a vest and two small devices that rest on the hips. Two paddles press down on the front of the wearer’s thighs, which adds 20 pounds of torque to the wearer’s leg strength.It’s an updated take on the APEx suit, which the Air Force developed in response to the high rate of musculoskeletal injuries suffered by aerial porters, the service members who move passengers, cargo and equipment for the service.
