Exoskeleton - what is it?
For people who have lost parts of the limbs or suffer from atrophy of muscle tissue, as well as those who are prone to muscle weakness, a device has been created that allows you to replenish the functions of the musculoskeletal system and recreate not only the lost parts of the skeleton, but to restore and strengthen muscle strength - this is an exoskeleton.
The exoskeleton is not a very new invention, its prototypes were used in science fiction films when it became necessary to lift and carry loads with a weight that did not correspond to the capabilities of the human body (or when it was necessary to fight a monster exceeding a person in strength).
In real life, an exoskeleton is a multifunctional design, robotic overalls for a person who needs either to reproduce the functionality of the organs of the musculoskeletal system, or in functional devices for industrial or military purposes.
Putting on an exoskeleton, you turn into a robot that, through hydraulics and electricity, is capable of actions that many mechanisms are inferior to, not to mention human capabilities.
The first exoskeletons were invented in the sixties of the last century. These were rather bulky structures. Over the years, exoskeletons have been improved and lightened, which makes it possible to wear such a "garment" without any problems. The latest squeak of fashion came from the exoskeleton invented by the Swedes. They managed to "tie" the exoskeleton from electrically conductive threads, which allows the exoskeleton to fit the human figure more tightly, to make it easier to carry, and also allows you to control the "knitted fabric" - to remotely control the movements of objects dressed in knitted fabric.
The threads for the knitted exoskeleton are based on cellulose threads coated with a special polymer compound (polypropitol). The molecules of this polymer are capable of stretching and rotating under the action of an electric current, which gives the knitted fabric of the exoskeleton mobility.
