Exoskeleton company to offer powered suits to the public

California-based exoskeleton manufacturer SuitX is looking for its technology to go mainstream, selling at Home Depot and other big box stores. “There is no doubt in my mind that these devices will eventually be sold at hardware stores,”  SuitX founder Homayoon Kazerooni told the broadcaster. “As the prices come down you’ll be able to simply buy them at Home Depot.” Exoskeletons don’t have to be complex pieces of machinery reminiscent of “Iron Man.” Many of today’s offerings fulfill far more mundane tasks, from allowing automakers to work overhead for hours at a time, relieving lower back strain, or allowing airline staff to lift pieces of luggage.
