>>10398266Cost of actuators and exoskeletons not offering much of a gain to performance. In some cases, exoskeletons can even be worse than no exoskeleton. A great example of this is backpack carrying exoskeletons, a user could carry more stuff without it because they didn't have to deal with the weight of the exoskeleton. Exoskeletons are a little bit better now, but the benefits are still not great. Better biomechanics and control will help. Your pic related is unrealistic lifting an engine like that would tip the wearer over. My robotics prof also criticized a picture from that work where they showed the operator lifting an engine up a ladder, because seriously why would you ever need to do that? Really the main thing is that actuators need to be cheaper.
