Powered Exoskeleton: The Body Armor from "iron Man" That Many of Us Might Soon Be Wearing
About this eBook
A mobile machine that is wearable over all or part of the human body, providing ergonomic structural support and powered by a system of electric motors, pneumatics, levers, hydraulics, or a combination of cybernetic technologies is referred to as a powered exoskeleton. Other names for this type of exoskeleton include power armor, powered armor, powered suit, cybernetic suit, cybernetic armor, exosuit, hardsuit, exoframe, or augmented mobility. The exoskeleton is expected to have a higher tolerance for mechanical stress, and its control system is supposed to be able to detect and coordinate with the motion that the user intends to make while also transmitting that information to motors that drive the gears. The user's shoulders, waist, back, and thighs are shielded from the effects of overload by the exoskeleton, which also helps to stabilize movement when the user is lifting and carrying large objects.
