U.S. Army developing exoskeletons for soldiers

Lockheed Martin has been awarded a contract to develop an exoskeleton for the US Army. This battery-operated device, worn over soldiers' pants, uses sensors and AI to assist natural movements. It aims to reduce the burden of heavy gear, which can weigh between 90 to 140 pounds, exceeding the recommended limit of 50 pounds. The exoskeleton's goal is to prevent excessive fatigue in soldiers upon arrival at the battlefield.
