Scientists have built a drone-powered knee exoskeleton that can assist with lifting, aiming to revolutionize tasks that require carrying and lifting. According to a publication on the website interestingengineering.com, the mechanism was developed by the University of Michigan and costs $4,000. The goal is to help workers lift when carrying things and at the same time protect their bodies.

It also protects the body and especially the back, while it weighs less compared to other similar machines. Robert Gregg, UM associate professor of robotics, said the emphasis is on strengthening the legs to maintain proper lifting form, rather than supporting the back and compromising posture, which is a departure from standard industry practices.
