Verve Motion and IAG plan aviation exosuit trial for baggage handlers
International Airlines Group will work with Verve Motion to trial an aviation-specific exosuit, initially focused on shoulder support for baggage handlers.
Evidence notes
- The planned trial will test wearable robotics during repetitive lifting across airport ground and cargo operations.
- IAG intends to shape the technology in a live operating environment while assessing worker safety, physical strain and operating efficiency.
- The announcement describes an evaluation programme rather than a group-wide commercial deployment.
Company context
