"In testing with human subjects, the researchers found that study participants used 24.3% less metabolic energy when walking in the robotic exoskeleton than without the exoskeleton. Participants used 13.1% less energy when running in the exoskeleton, and 15.4% less energy when climbing stairs.

New robot suits can decrease energy use very much. And this kind of system is a good help for free time and heavy work. The new robot suit base is in the Human Universal Load Carrier HULC by Lockheed Martin. But the new robot suits are more compact, lightweight, and easy to use. They can operate for a longer time.
The biggest problem with HULC has been its 20-kilometer range. The solar-powered system can use changed batteries that the MULE system or camel can carry.
Advanced battery technology allows those systems to be lightweight. Users who use this system can use those robot suits to carry heavy loads. And walk a long time. Those robot suits are suitable for the same missions as older and less flexible robotic suits like HULC. The knowledge of the neural signals makes those robot suits more flexible than older versions. And they are more versatile than older models.
Advanced computer technology makes it possible for systems. That they can drive more complicated code. It allows that system can operate more varsity than older systems. Those robot running suits make hiking and many other things more exciting. But the military and scientific operators can also use those suits.
When developers connect that technology with space suits, which are made for spacewalks, that allows them to create systems that can be used to operate in highly radioactive areas. The space suit is suitable for those things, but their weight is enormous. But if the robot suit is combined with those heavy suits, that are designed to protect their users against micrometeorites and cosmic radiation.
