Robotic exoskeleton, how does it benefit mankind?

The exoskeleton attaches to the user's legs and back, distributing pressure evenly through straps. Engines in the hips, knees and ankles send reports to a computer, which analyzes the user's "gait," or the way he or she walks, to keep him or her balanced. The company hopes to sell the device by the end of 2018.

Also according to Addictive Technologies, the backrest is a battery and a tiny computer with an Intel i7 that determines how the machine balances and walks. The wearer can control the device with commands or by a professional using a special program. The user first sits in the device and then moves his or her hips, sending movement signals to motors at the hips, knees, and ankles that prompt the device to be in the standing position.
