Farming is a physically demanding occupation that leads to a high frequency of work-related injuries, particularly musculoskeletal disorders. While technology has advanced in agriculture, with machinery handling more tasks, human labor remains vulnerable. Exoskeleton technology, once a concept of science fiction, is now being employed to improve human capabilities in agriculture. Powered exoskeletons offer additional mechanical force but are often too complex and costly for farmers. In contrast, passive exoskeletons harness natural body movements to assist farmers, presenting an innovative solution to reduce physical strain and injuries in the industry.
Exoskeletons, especially the passive variety, could significantly reduce the physical strain on farmers, making them a valuable addition to modern agricultural practices.
As farming becomes increasingly tech-driven, exoskeletons represent a bridging technology that enhances human capabilities, rather than replacing them with machines.
