Just what exactly is an exoskeleton anyways?! – reads the title of an article that tries to shed some light on the question all the way back from 2017. (link) In the last seven years, there have been countless changes and breakthroughs in the exo industry, and that article now needs an update.

Getting the word out there that practical, real, exoskeletons exist continues to be a hurdle to the faster proliferation of this technology. There are millions who could benefit from exo tech around the world, but they won’t have access to it without more investments and investigations into this blossoming tech field.

Therefore, educating and amplifying the message that we have had a digital revolution and now have the technology for a physical one is essential.
