The Economist makes a compelling case that the most useful exoskeletons may not be full-body supersuits at all. The winners are becoming smaller, lighter and more specific—an idea that connects directly to decades of work in wearable robotics, rehabilitation, limb preservation and our own “Repair, Regeneration and Replacement” framework.

An eight-person SmartBoot–CORA study links context-aware prompts to better short-term offloading responses. Paired with Lifestyle Redesign, it points toward support that fits everyday life.
