      Yes, exoskeletons already help paralised people walk.

      I would love to see an exoskeleton for real! I think we’re nearly there. Plenty of people have made very sophisticated costumes with all the flaps and opening face mask for cosplays. We’ve also got very advanced robots and prosthetic limbs for people. So combine the two and you could soon see a fully working robot suit! The difficulty is the power supply. Tony Stark’s Ion Man Arc reactor in his chest is a long way from being invented, certainly in the small enough size he has. Also, it’s very hard to imagine rocket boots, hand blasters or missiles fitting inside a personal set of armour any time soon. I hope it happens in my lifetime! Maybe you can be the one to invent all that 🙂
