According to a study published in the journal Nature, researchers have developed an exoskeleton that supports leg movement. Based on the experimental results and real-world optimization data, the authors of the paper designed a specialized ankle exoskeleton, including an exoskeleton on each of the two ankles and a battery pack on the waist. The device can increase walking speed by 9% and save 17% of energy compared with natural walking in ordinary shoes, which is equivalent to taking 9.2 kilograms of baggage. The authors of the paper say their latest findings suggest that this new technology could allow the exoskeleton to be more tailored to individual needs, thereby improving its performance. However, further research is needed to advance the practical application of this device and to explore how this technology can be applied to other devices and activities.
