From nurseryman to plumber, how exoskeletons help workers in the most demanding jobs

The article discusses the development and application of exoskeletons by Italian company Comau, designed to assist workers in physically demanding jobs. It highlights how these devices help reduce workplace injuries and preserve worker health, particularly in industries like horticulture where repetitive movements and heavy lifting are common. The CEO of Comau, Duilio Amico, explains that aging populations and the need to retain skilled labor make exoskeletons a valuable solution. The technology supports both current and future generations of workers while promoting inclusivity by enabling people with different physical abilities to perform traditionally male-dominated tasks. The project was developed in collaboration with academic institutions and medical device companies.
