An MME professor recently lent their expertise to an article in the Globe and Mail on exoskeleton companies looking to break into the mainstream market.
Exoskeletons are wearable devices that can provide assistance with mobility, allowing individuals who need or want it to have a greater range of motion—generally, they help people move more easily.
Dr. Arash Arami has been studying assistive robotics for the past 10 years and has observed that exoskeleton technology has become lighter and more widely available to its end users, and expects continued progress.
Dr. Arami could even envision a future where exoskeletons become part of us—kind of like a Cyborg, or they could even become part of the clothes we wear.
