Nicholas Gotts is an employee of Ford Motor Company. For the past 6 years, he has been busy on Ford’s Mustang sports car assembly line almost every day. The most common thing is to screw.

This action Gotz is going to do 500 times a day, which also makes him early Suffering from lumbar muscle strain.
But since last year, Gotz has become a lot lighter on the assembly line, and he doesn’t have to stop and take a break as he did before.
The secret lies in the special work vest of Goetz: its main body is a metal back plate supported by the shoulder straps on both sides and the annular hip belt at the waist, and the tubular bracket connected to it is from the back. Extend to both ends of the arms.
Because its structure and design are similar to the human skeleton, this strange device also has a more visual name called “exoskeleton”.
