Fortis Exoskeleton Applications and Features

Exoskeleton Technologies is developing exoskeletons for various applications, including military and industrial use. The Fortis exoskeleton helps users manage heavy loads, reducing muscle fatigue. It is unpowered, designed to feel natural, and includes safety features to prevent injury. Fortis is adjustable for different body types and easy to use. The technology aims to improve workers' quality of life by reducing fatigue, allowing them to engage in activities after work. The program is exploring new applications and has been featured in National Geographic's series.
