Construction exoskeletons may help workers spot hazards by reducing fatigue

Taking some of the physical strain off construction workers could do more than reduce fatigue. New research from Texas A&M University suggests it may also help them recognize hazards around them.

Wearable Exoskeletons Could Help Construction Workers Spot Danger

Wearable exoskeletons could help construction workers stay safer by reducing physical fatigue and making it easier to notice hazards, according to new research from Texas A&M University. In a field study involving 16 construction workers, researchers tested a passive exoskeleton designed to support the lower back. Workers who wore the device experienced 37% less fatigue […]
