Exoskeletons have long been studied almost everywhere and developed by various research teams: small wearable infrastructures that guarantee soldiers and civilians more resistance when lifting weights, walking long distances, carrying out heavy work. They are a way for us all to become more "cyborgs" without implanting anything in our bodies: well, having an exoskeleton is like dressing up as a cyborg. Here are 7 devices already in use that can enhance our lives.
Chairless Chair
Chairless Chair it is a small human exoskeleton that actually replaces a chair: it accompanies normal walking and does not interfere in any way with daily actions, but when you need it, just click a switch and you can sit down, unloading all the weight of your back, anywhere and anytime.

ExoVest
EksoVest is an exoskeleton designed for the upper body: it elevates and supports a worker's arms to help him with tasks that would otherwise tend to overload them. It is light and of low profile, making it comfortable to wear in all conditions while still allowing freedom of movement.
Exo GlovePoly
Actions such as opening a door or holding a glass are impossible gestures for a person with serious hand and finger problems. Serious spinal cord injury, stroke or cerebral palsy can cause irreparable damage and represent an enormous life challenge, without the right help of assistive technologies. Exo Glove is an exoskeleton which allows the movement of the hands, replacing the flexor muscles and extensors with polymeric offshoots.
