The concept of an exoskeleton draws inspiration from the natural exoskeletons found in certain animals, such as insects and crustaceans, which serve as external shells or protective coverings. However, in the context of technology, an exoskeleton is a mechanical device that is worn on the outside of the body to amplify and support the user’s physical abilities.
