Why it matters
Exoskeletons can rehabilitate and mobilize people with injuries, reduce strain for workers, and extend human physical capability in industry and medicine.
Where it stands
Medical and industrial exoskeletons are commercially available; weight, battery life, cost, and seamless control still limit them.
How ASIZ approaches it
The discovery loop, applied.
Through the Autonomy & Robotics center, ASIZ aims the discovery loop at powered exoskeleton: frontier models survey the literature and simulate the possibilities, rank the experiments most likely to resolve the open questions, and partner labs run the decisive ones — with results shared openly.
