What is an exoskeleton robot and how does it work?
An exoskeleton is a powered wearable robotic device worn by a human that assists or amplifies the wearer's movement. Exoskeletons are not autonomous robots: the wearer's intent drives every action. The category divides between medical exoskeletons (FDA-cleared for rehabilitation and personal mobility) and industrial exoskeletons (worn by workers to reduce fatigue and injury risk).Read the full explainer →
