Researchers have created an exoskeleton that prevents falling
"Wearable machines that enhance your movement and endurance no longer belong to the realm of science fiction," the creators stated.
For elderly people, the exoskeleton could prove a useful asset that helps them with walking. The researchers have designed the machine so that it only interferes when the user requires assistance. The device has sensors that can intercept signals if you’re about to fall. When you do, the lightweight motors exert instant force on both legs to restore balance.
