Exoskeleton systems have to be one of the biggest sleepers in robotics⦠but why?
The biggest misconception is that exoskeletons are only for people with injuries or disabilities. In reality, they can enhance performance for everyday peopleāwhether itās hikers carrying heavy loads, workers in physically demanding jobs, older adults looking to maintain their independence, or athletes pushing past their limits.
A 30% increase in leg strength and endurance might not sound revolutionary at first. But put it into perspective: someone who gets exhausted after 20 minutes of activity could now keep going for an hour.
