Researchers at Harvard University have developed a new exosuit that helps to reduce energy used whilst moving with a heavy load by 7.3% on average. The suit is also proven to reduce potential damage to a worker's hip, knee and ankle joints. A team of researchers from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Harvard University, led by Professor David A. Williams, has created an exoskeleton which can help workers move heavier loads while reducing their impact on the environment. The university believes the device can help the likes of soldiers, emergency fire rescue teams and hikers.
