Puget Sound Naval Shipyard Partners with Sarcos Robotics for Exoskeleton Development
Puget Sound Naval Shipyard & Intermediate Maintenance Facility (PSNS & IMF) and Sarcos Robotics have entered a CRADA to develop robotic technologies, including powered exoskeletons, for naval shipyards. This collaboration aims to enhance worker safety and efficiency in challenging work environments.

The partnership between Puget Sound Naval Shipyard & Intermediate Maintenance Facility (PSNS & IMF) and Sarcos Robotics aims to create robotic solutions that support shipyard personnel, particularly in ergonomically demanding situations. This initiative is formalized under a cooperative research and development agreement (CRADA), facilitating the development of technologies for use in confined spaces and heavy lifting scenarios.
PSNS & IMF has held the designation of a technology transfer laboratory since June 2017, enhancing its ability to form partnerships for technology advancement. The integration of Sarcos' robotics is expected to address specific operational needs of the Navy workforce, potentially improving safety and productivity.
