Exoskeleton

A wearable robotic structure that augments the wearer's physical capabilities or provides rehabilitation. Industrial exoskeletons reduce fatigue and musculoskeletal injury for warehouse workers. Medical exoskeletons (HAL, ReWalk, Ekso) assist walking for people with paraplegia. Supernumerary exoskeletons add extra limbs rather than augmenting existing ones.
