Sohail Rahman reporting for Al Jazeera:

A Japanese hauling company which employs many elderly people has invested in an exoskeleton to take the strain off its staff.

And:

The exoskeleton helps employees to carry out their jobs, which include constantly loading, unloading, carrying and bending.

"The burden on my back and legs has been lessened by half," Kenji Takemura, an employee at the company for more than 34 years, told Al Jazeera.

The future is now.
