As technology continue to evolute every now and then with the influx of various electronics gadget,Conor Welsh, the founder of Harvard Biodesign Lab at Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering, and his team is currently working on some very different and unique known as the Soft Exosuite, which essentially is a wearable robot. The purpose of their invention is to mimic human movements and thus assist the muscles, so that the people wearing the exosuite can apply less physical effort while walking.
Currently, exoskeletons is one of the mainstream branches in engineering and is almost as popular as drone crafting. What's the secret behind? It's easy, folks: the US military has a particular interest in this sphere and gives substantial financial support to the developers of such suits. You might have heard, for instance, that the US military forces are working together with Hollywood to create an Iron Man suite.
The project is primarily designed for military purposes, its capabilities can be also used to help common citizens, especially people with reduced mobility.
