Ford expands trial of exoskeleton vest for factory workers

Ford has expanded the trial of the EksoVest, an upper-body exoskeleton designed to support the wearer's arms, to 15 of its factories across the globe. Made by Ekso Bionics, the EksoVest helps support the weight people are carrying, thereby reducing the stress on both the shoulders and arms, and alleviating the physical demands of repetitive overhead tasks.
