If a South Korean shipbuilding company has its way, it's workers could soon be wearing exoskeletons that would allow them to easily carry items as heavy as 200 pounds like they were bits of styrofoam. Daewoo Ship Building and Marine Engineering has been testing such suits at their Okpo-dong facility in the hopes that they will soon be able to put them into full production and have an entire fleet of super strong ship builders.
