Notice these 2 statements in the article I just posted.
First statement is exactly what Ford wants to hear...decreases on the job accidents due to occupational repetition .
2nd statement sounds like EKSO is very close to signing a deal being they are collaborating on refining the EKSO using Ford employee feedback
Here are the exact statements below.....
-----------------------------------------------------------------
“My job entails working over my head, so when I get home my back, neck and shoulders usually hurt,” Paul Collins, an assembly line worker at Ford’s Michigan Assembly Plant, said in the company’s statement.
“Since I started using the vest, I’m not as sore, and I have more energy to play with my grandsons when I get home.”
Russ Angold, co-founder and chief technology officer of Ekso Bionics, said the new collaboration allowed them to refine their earlier prototypes based on insights directly from Ford employees.
