A collaborative research team of experts in fashion, textiles, ergonomics, engineering, and computer science at LSU address longevity in construction workers with a smart, wearable exoskeleton.
In research funded by the National Science Foundation as part of a Future of Work program, researchers in construction management and industrial engineering from LSU and Rutgers, including project lead and LSU researcher Chao Wang, have been working to develop a wearable exoskeleton to protect wearers from acute and repetitive strain injuries.
