  Of course there’s a fucking app.

    The app instructed me to perform certain actions to calibrate the exoskeleton and determine whether I was operating it correctly. It only let me move on in the setup if I could prove I was operationally proficient.

    What’s your problem with the app? It sounds like a legit reason for one. Kinda dumb to just condemn apps regardless of context.

      Usually the issue with app dependent products, is that it rely on a fucking cloud connection. That imply that if the cloud service goes down or the company collapse, your their product become unusable. Yet all corps continue to do it as it is super handy to track their pigeon users. Data can then be sold or used to plot growth curves that gives their CEO an erection.

      Also it probably requires you to have a google or apple account.

  It’s not reducing the load on the knees at all.

      After my back, my knees are the most fucked, followed closely by my shoulders and then hands.

      Unless these things can take all or most off the strain off of my broken bits…not fucking interested.

    I was really hoping it would help with this since I have a disability that affects the joints in legs and my knees hurt the most from that. So this isn’t really anything too interesting, but still kinda neat.

  Back when I was ready to graduate college and looking for jobs, I was hoping to get a job with an exoskeleton development company. I really wanted to create Aliens loaders and shit like this. I settled for a job launching rockets.
