Summary_Reader Response Draft #2

  The article “Where’s My Supersuit?” Zelik (2019) talks about recent developments that have been made in the world of wearable exoskeletons, or “supersuits”.  Early exoskeletons have been created to assist the elderlies, the physically impaired and jobs that are physically intensive. The article introduces an improved version that can be toggleable with a switch. It utilizes springs and assistive fabric elastic bands, woven into a cloth-based material. The improved supersuit solves the issues of its predecessors by allowing it to be worn for longer periods of time without wearing out the user.  Lastly, Zelik wants to incorporate sensors and machine learning into the supersuits in the future. He believes that the introduction of these components will allow these supersuits to assist many more industries, such as in the medical and sport industry. He also wishes that in about 30 years time, these supersuits will be accessible to the general public.  Current exoskeletons are limited in t

The improved supersuit solves the issues of its predecessors by allowing it to be worn for longer periods of time without wearing out the user. Current exoskeletons are limited in terms of their practicality and comfort. With future developments in exoskeletons fitted with wearable sensors, biomechanical algorithms and neck supports, it will further enhance the lives of users. Latest developments in exoskeletons have allowed for greater adaptations into more industries as the range of movements they possess have drastically been increase
