Smart Exoskeletons: Enhancing Human Strength and Mobility
Smart exoskeletons are wearable robotic devices designed to augment human strength, endurance, and mobility. By combining robotics, sensors, artificial intelligence (AI), and biomechanical engineering, these devices assist users in performing physical tasks with greater efficiency and reduced strain. Smart exoskeletons are increasingly being used in healthcare, industrial applications, and military operations, transforming the way humans interact with technology.
These devices work by detecting the wearer’s movements through sensors and actuators. When a user initiates movement, the exoskeleton’s control system interprets these signals and provides additional mechanical support to enhance strength or stabilize motion. For instance, lower-body exoskeletons can assist in walking or lifting heavy loads, while upper-body variants support arm and shoulder movements during repetitive tasks.
