Iron Man-like exoskeletons studied to improve productivity, safety, and well-being

Virginia Tech

'Imagine waking up and being capable of doing heavy physical jobs without pain or injuries,' said Srinivasan. 'Productivity would be boosted if people are healthier and safer. Workers currently in those positions would be able to do the job with less physical effort and in a safer way, develop new technological skills, and possibly get paid better. We are hopeful that younger generations will not look down upon heavy industrial jobs as a result.'
