Back Exoskeleton

Hapo exoskeleton:

The HAPO system is a very light, passive and spring-loaded wearable exoskeleton that supports people who carry out physically demanding and repetitive tasks.

The HAPO supports the upper body through the partial transfer of forces from the upper trunk (via the chest support) to the thighs, without compressing the spine.

This system assists in the manual handling of loads, providing support and reducing strain on the lower back.
