Exoskeleton without a heap of iron or Ekzokostyum from DARPA

How to make an easy and convenient exoskeleton?

What do you think of when you hear the word "exoskeleton"? Most likely, about Iron Man or bulky structures that are connected to the power supply and equipped with a hefty machine guns. In any case, I have these thoughts - first. But in this case it is not the exoskeleton and ekzokostyum. Basically, it is made of fabric and it is very easy. DARPA is now poured into the project almost three million dollars in the framework of the «Warrior Web».





In fact, ekzokostyum will act much like real muscle, helping legs of man make an effort in the right direction while walking. Device worn like normal pants. Now the main task of the developers - as fully as possible to reproduce the movements of the muscles user so that people feel comfortable in these clothes, so she really eased his movement. This is possible thanks to the correct location of a strip of cloth with the built-in flexible sensors controlled by a microprocessor with low power consumption that combat conditions is very important.

This project falls under the program of DARPA Warrior Web, as this program is designed to prevent injury to the soldiers. So that when the project is finalized, it can get to the US military.
