How Exoskeletons Work
Structural Framework
Exoskeletons are built with a
sturdy framework to support
the user's body.
Motion Sensors
Advanced sensors detect the
user's movements to activate
the exoskeleton's actions.
Mechanical Assistance
Exoskeletons assist or
enhance the user's
movements, reducing fatigue
and strain.
