An exoskeleton is not a human-shaped giant robot with a human inside, that would be a Jaeger.

An exoskeleton exists today, in many forms, for example: https://www.festool.com/campaigns/microsites/exoactive

Sort of strange comment given that there are a large number of companies pursuing commercial exoskeletons literally right now.

SuitX

hypershell

Herowear

DNSYS

Moveo

Hell, even big companies like Hilti

I can buy a ton of different models of exoskeletons for anywhere from low hundreds to low thousands online right now...

Ironically, the fact that fully autonomous systems are more efficient when feasible is exactly why the exoskeleton analogy makes sense
