Lifting Weight with Exoskeleton

Caption

Researchers at New York University Polytechnic School of Engineering and the Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition are developing a design framework that will help speed the design of powered exoskeletons for the lower body. The modeling will allow military personnel and construction workers to carry heavy loads over long distances. The modeling is based on an initial design by NASA and IHMC.
