But none of these devices predict what the wearer is going to do next and take measures to correct an unsteady move.The 3-kilogramme exoskeleton was

24、built entirely from scratch by the research team and is designed to be worn on the lower half of the body. A waistband connects to two movable carbon fiber braces(支架), each one positioned on the outer side of a leg. Tiny motors and so-called “adaptive oscillators”(适配振荡器) in the computer circuits use

25、 a special process to detect the wearers unique paces. That part takes just a few minutes.While wearing the exoskeleton, a person may feel the braces and the motors pushing slightly on their legs. If their paces go against normal, the motors create a force in the braces that cause them to stiffen up
