I work in physical rehabilitation and long term care and am really excited about these things making their way over here. The therapy and nursing staff are constantly lifting, transferring and mobilizing patients and not only is it grueling on us but I notice a difference in gains in therapy with our heavier patients (both bariatric and just tall, big guys) probably because we aren't able to provide as much physical assistance for retraining.

I can see the AWN-03 being particularly useful in hospitals and storage areas of retail stores, where heavy lifting is a common task.

It would most likely operate on fossil fuel, which means the indoor usage and gas emissions can become health issues.
