In an innovative leap forward for workplace safety, a research team at Seoul National University has developed the Bilateral Back Extensor Exosuit (BBEX), a robotic back-support device designed to prevent spinal injuries and assist workers in heavy lifting tasks.

This intricate design ensures that the device can offer comprehensive support during both symmetric and asymmetric lifting tasks, effectively reducing muscle fatigue and mechanical loading on spinal joints.
