Robotic shorts may be the new way to fight workplace fatigue. Here’s how they work.
Many workers dream of amplifying their physical strength and speed on the job — especially if they do manual work requiring heavy lifting, a high degree of walking and climbing. Recognizing the issue, a team of researchers have developed an exoskeleton robotic device that can be used in the workplace to help boost productivity and reduce bodily stress and injury.
It was developed by a team of researchers at Harvard University's Wyss Institute and the University of Nebraska Omaha, and it is worn like robotic shorts to augment human performance. "The devices are now being tested in various workplace environments, such as large distribution centers and automotive plants," Walsh says, adding that it boosts an individual's physical strength or momentum, reducing strain by 20% to 30%.
