Agriculture
In various agricultural and fisheries occupations, machinery helps with many tasks. However, the strain on the back from bending over for long periods or lifting heavy fertilizer bags is unavoidable. The fatigue of workers in agriculture and fisheries, not just in manufacturing, is also a long-term concern that we need to address. The support of wearable robots reduces injuries and enables energetic work.
From the Field
Since I have to constantly carry heavy things like fruit boxes and fertilizer, wearing StepUp while working definitely makes my back and shoulders less tired afterward. I used to have severe back pain after just one day of work, but now I can work comfortably. The strain on my back, especially when carrying heavy objects, has been significantly reduced.
