Medical exoskeletons are some of the first and oldest examples of wearable robotics. This is the last general overview episode of the applications of exoskeleton technology. Tom and I were cautious in our statements. We realize that countless people suffer from mobility impairments and could benefit from inexpensive, easy-to-use medical wearables. On the one hand, we didn't want to oversell what medical exoskeletons can do now and in the future, but we also didn't want to understate their potential impact.
