In the life of a miner, physical endurance is crucial. But what if that burden could be lifted — literally?

Researchers in @vtengineering.bsky.social are designing a solution that could transform how miners work: a back-support exoskeleton made just for them.
Lifting the load
A team of researchers from mining and mechanical engineering is developing a wearable exoskeleton designed to revolutionize mining safety.
