Exoskeletons
Wearable, powered frameworks that augment the strength, endurance, and load-bearing capacity of the human user. They are mechanical "muscle suits" with actuators and sensors that detect the wearer's movement intentions and provide amplified force. Applications range from medical rehabilitation and industrial labor (allowing a worker to lift hundreds of pounds safely) to military logistics and combat, where they enable soldiers to carry heavier armor and weapons over longer distances without fatigue.
Exoskeletons *Example: A warehouse worker using a lower-body Exoskeleton to effortlessly lift and move 200-pound crates for an entire shift without back strain. A military "Iron Man" suit, while more advanced, is the combat-oriented vision—a full-body exoskeleton providing strength, load carriage, and integrated systems to a soldier.*
