UTA Develops Soft Exoskeleton to Reduce Fatigue and Improve Workplace Safety
Engineers at University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) have created a lightweight, air‑powered soft robotic exoskeleton the Pneumatically Actuated Soft Elbow Exoskeleton (PASE) designed to assist arm movements during lifting and assembly tasks, thereby helping reduce muscle fatigue and the risk of musculoskeletal injuries. Initial testing showed up to a 22% reduction in muscle activity among participants aged 18‑45.
