Advancements And Challenges in Exoskeleton Technology: An In-Depth Exploration

Abstract

The human body is relatively weak and fragile compared to animals. To overcome this limitation, humans have proposed various suggestions to improve the status quo. For example, there's the idea of replacing human body parts with machines or developing bulletproof skin. Additionally, films often depict technologies that could potentially make individuals invincible. However, one of the most prevalent approaches is the use of exoskeletons. In reality, the first creation of an exoskeleton-like device appeared in the mid-20th century. Rather than creating exoskeletons to make humans superhuman, the primary focus has been on applying exoskeletons to fields requiring services and rehabilitation, garnering significant attention. With cooperation between the biomedical and engineering fields, more people are becoming aware that this technology could serve as a solution for disabled individuals and as an apparatus for those in physically demanding positions. Perhaps in the near future, with further investigation, all human beings could eventually have access to exoskeletons with even more advanced features.
