Zusammenfassung:Systems and methods for a powered, robotic exoskeleton, or exosuit, for a user's limbs and body are provided. The exosuit may be equipped with airbag devices mounted at various locations on the suit. The exosuit may include on-board computing equipment that can sense, compute control commands in real-time, and actuate limbs and airbags to restore stability (fall prevention) and minimize injuries due to falls, should they happen (fall protection).
