Will a Powered Exoskeleton Be Commercialized This Year?
Possibly. A powered exoskeleton is a wearable machine that can move limbs and increase strength. US carmaker Ford announced last year that it would equip 15 factories in seven countries with a powered exoskeleton named EksoVest to reduce the workload on laborers.
The vests cost around USD650 each at the moment, but they could become more popular if the price falls significantly.
