Designed for nurses in Japan, the Power Assist uses its compressed air lifting action to transfer patients from one bed to another. The suit, which calculates how much air to release based on sensors taped to the wearers muscles, has many other applications too, like the heavy-lifting tasks performed by soldiers, and construction workers.
