Exoskeleton
A powered exoskeleton, also known as power armor, powered armor, powered suit, cybernetic suit, cybernetic armor, exosuit, hardsuit, exoframe or augmented mobility, is a mobile machine that is wearable over all or part of the human body, providing ergonomic structural support and powered by a system of electric motors, pneumatics, levers, hydraulics or a combination of cybernetic technologies, while allowing for sufficient limb movement with increased strength and endurance.
A soft exoskeleton was designed with integrated tactile sensor arrays that were used for ‘feeling’ the differences between right & wrong versions of a song played on the piano. The device demonstrated high classification accuracy & could be used to guide disabled people on customized rehab programs.
