What happens here
A representative from Fraco demonstrates a prototype exoskeleton designed for construction, specifically for masons. The exoskeleton is not hydraulic but uses a system of springs, cams, and elastic bands to transfer the weight of heavy objects from the user's arms and back directly to the ground. This provides significant load assistance, especially for repetitive heavy lifting tasks, and is powered by a battery that lasts up to 48 hours because it only engages when needed. The system is designed to be comfortable and reduce strain, increasing productivity and safety.
Goal: Demonstrate an exoskeleton designed to aid in heavy lifting for construction workers.
