This project focuses on designing and constructing a novel device to alleviate back strain when lifting heavy objects. By utilizing torsion springs connected to the torso and legs, the device provides counter-force to support the body and transfer lifting forces to the legs. This design minimizes reliance on heavy motors and wall attachments, offering improved safety and portability. Future enhancements will include stronger springs, improved ergonomics, and a more powerful solenoid mechanism.
