Hardiman was the first attempt to build a practical powered exoskeleton, by General Electric between 1965 and 1971. [1] [2] The machine was intended to allow the wearer to lift loads of 1500 pounds (680 kg) with ease. [2] The project was led by the engineer Ralph Mosher, who had previously worked on the Handyman. The project was not successful ...
An exhibit of the "Future Soldier" designed by the United States ArmyA powered exoskeleton is a mobile machine wearable over all or part of the human body, providing ergonomic structural support, and powered by a system of electric motors, pneumatics, levers, hydraulics or a combination of cybernetic technologies, allowing for sufficient limb movement, and providing increased strength ...
MAX exoskeletons assist with lifting and carrying heavy loads, reducing the risk of injuries. The MAX exoskeleton integrates the backX, shoulderX, and legX systems, [62] forming a comprehensive full-body exoskeleton designed for diverse industrial settings. Its purpose is to minimize the stress on the knees, back, and shoulders, allowing users ...
The Walking Truck [1] or Cybernetic Walking Machine was an experimental quadruped walking vehicle created by General Electric in 1965. [2] It was designed by Ralph Mosher to help infantry carry equipment over rough terrain. It alternatively bore the name of "CAM", an acronym for "Cybernetic Anthropomorphous Machine". [1]

Valentin Shchanovich came up with a way to raise money for a mechanism that will help him walk.
His work showed that living organisms and animals show a direct current of electric charge which is measurable from their body surface. [4] In the 1960s Becker's research also showed that living bone can piezoelectrically generate electric potentials, [4] which led to work on using electricity in the treatment of ununited fractures.
