did you know there are already passive-elastic and powered exoskeletons that you can buy to help you lift heavier stuff?

we looked into it at work a while ago and gave the logistics folks in the warehouse a bunch of these, I figured the fediverse needed to hear about the existence of these because I hadn't really realized they already existed in industrial and well tested widely used forms

Ps. Experimental US army exoskeletons cost hundreds of thousands. Ukraine’s system costs a couple of thousand.
