AI can analyze worker movements to recommend exoskeleton suits & reduce physical strain

Technology also raises concerns about job displacement in other fields

08-May-2024

Key points from article :

British company Stanley Handling is using artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze videos of technicians at work and identify potential health risks from repetitive movements.

The AI-generated data is used to recommend specific exoskeleton suits, which are wearable devices that support the body and reduce strain, for technicians to wear.

This technology aims to reduce the incidence of musculoskeletal problems, a common issue among mechanics, and allow them to continue working for longer.

While AI is increasingly used in various professions, concerns exist about potential job losses due to automation, particularly for women in secretarial, customer service, and administrative roles.
