Just put your special clothes on in the morning and you could jump 3 meters into

Just put your special clothes on in the morning andyou could jump 3 meters into the air and even carry more than 60 kilogramswithout getting tired. The walk to school would be very, very easy. Such superchargedclothing is one of the products that could be created using "wearablerobotics” technology.

Designed to improve a person's senses and skills, thedevice could be as simple as a hearing aid. Or it could be a full-body suitthat senses what you're going to do, then helps you do it better.

“A superman suit would be the final result in wearablerobot i cs ”，s a id Francois Pin, head of robot­icsand energy systems at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory(橡树林国家实验室), US. While these suits are at least ten yearsaway, in some areas the technology is already in use.

Researchers are developing artificial- arms and legsthat allow old，disabled or injured people to move freely.Thus US Army is interested in using wearable robot legs to help soldiers runfaster, carry more equipment and be stronger in battle. Jobs that involvelifting heavy loads or saving lives from the rubble of an earthquake could alsobecome much easier.

A robot is a device that responds to a command. You'reprobably with simple robots, such as toy cars or airplanes that respond tobuttons you push on a remote control.

Wearable robotics goes further. Instead of justreceiving information through a wire or remotecontrol- the robotic device cansend information back to its controller.

Suppose you wore a sleeve that has sensors where yourjoints are. Every time you move your arm, the sleeve senses your movements andsends the information to a robot, which then moves its arm just as you did.When the robot hits or touches something, it sends a signal back to the sleeveand you sense the action.

In this way，scientistsare working to wrap the robot around the person. Their goal is to make thesleeve, shoe or suit help you do what you want to do.
