Exoskeleton Evan and Shane BC
What is Exoskeleton • A piece of technology that will enhance soldiers abilities • Soldiers will be able to carry heavier and more supplies • Makes it easier to move and carry objects 25 times easier • Enables soldiers to walk faster than an average human running • Can give troops abilities to leap over objects that would slow them down
How Does it Work • Exoskeleton must be able to run 24 hours without having to be refueled • It has to be worn by a human and can not make noise • It will be made of structural materials that are composite, lightweight, flexible, and protected from fire • The goal is to make the exoskeleton move like a human because if it doesn’t than it can endanger joints • It must be able to sense and react to human motions so the human can move
How does it benefit mankind • Soldiers can run faster, carry heavier weapons, and leap over large objects • They will always know where they are with built in computers • To go through war with less chances of getting hurt and have advantages against other countries • The exoskeleton will help soldiers recover from injuries
