As part of the partnership, IAG will work with Verve Motion to trial a new exosuit designed specifically for aviation, initially focusing on shoulder support for baggage handlers. The pilot will explore how wearable robotics can make repetitive lifting tasks easier and help improve performance across ground and cargo operations.

I wonder how they deal with latency between the body movement, and the machine responding? Maybe with items as small as luggage, it's fast enough. It seems like it would be tiring to use because of this, though.
