A powered exoskeleton (also known as power armor, powered armor, exoframe, hardsuit, or exosuit) is a wearable mobile machine that is powered by an external power source and that augments the wearer’s strength, endurance, and mobility.
One of the major trends is the development of powered exoskeletons for industrial and medical applications. There is also a trend towards the development of lighter weight and more comfortable exoskeletons. Additionally, there is an increasing interest in using exoskeletons for rehabilitation and physical therapy.
