What is an Exoskeleton?
Engineers in Japan and at the University of California, Berkeley, are researching and testing exoskeletons or bodybots. They are essentially robots and the term has come to mean "supersuit". These systems have real world applications such as helping a physically weak or injured person gain mobility or perform rehabilitation exercises. Emergency personnel could use these robots to carry injured people out of burning buildings. In Japan, the population is rapidly aging and some say that robotic-aided nursing care could be a solution in their society because they readily accept robots. In the past this technology was not successful because computers were not fast enough to process the control functions and energy supplies were not small and light enough to be portable.
