Hyundai Rotem’s wearable robot VEX helps prevent musculoskeletal disorders by reducing muscle fatigue in the shoulders and arms when performing upward-looking tasks in industrial settings.
It operates naturally according to the worker's arm movements and supports the weight of the arm and tool, so it significantly reduces shoulder pain and fatigue even when working upwards for a long time.

Results
| Key Benefits | Increased Industry safety through reduced worker fatigue
Reducing labor losses by preventing musculoskeletal disorders for workers |
|---|---|
| Client Feedback | When workers on automotive conveyor lines worked for long periods while looking upward, fatigue increased, leading to decreased productivity. However, after the application of Hyundai Rotem's wearable robots, worker fatigue decreased even during long working hours, reducing idle time and increasing productivity. Additionally, worker job satisfaction also increased. |

Hyundai Rotem’s wearable robot VEX reduces muscle fatigue in the shoulders and arms when performing upward-looking tasks in Industry settings. Because it operates naturally in accordance with the worker’s arm movements and supports the weight of the arms and tools, it significantly alleviates shoulder pain and fatigue even during long periods of upward work.
IFCC WorldLab Seoul 2022 CLOi Guidebot
This application utilizes the LG CLOi GuideBot, developed by LG Electronics, to patrol an exhibition booth and use its front and rear-mounted body displays to promote the company and explain events. The LG CLOi GuideBot can operate guidance and advertising using the two body displays mounted on the robot. The robot can autonomously navigate to guide visitors to amenities within the facility or conduct patrols at night. As an option, a docent function can be used to guide visitors and explain exhibits at museums or exhibitions.
