Soft exoskeletons, or exosuits, are clothing-like devices made of fabric or elastomers that wrap around a person's limb and work in parallel with his/her muscles ... Characteristic of exosuits is that they rely on the structural integrity of the human body to transfer reaction forces between body segments, rather than having their own frame, thus acting more like external muscles than an external skeleton. 4, record 1, English, - soft%20exoskeleton

Pour certaines applications, un effort plus faible est suffisant pour fournir l'assistance nécessaire au porteur. Le poids de la structure devient une problématique d'autant plus critique qu'il pénalise rapidement son porteur. Dans ces cas d'usages, l'utilisation d'une structure rigide n'est pas obligatoire. Dans cette situation, on retrouve les exosquelettes souples, dont la structure est assemblée à partir de matériaux très flexibles qui se déforment en cours d'utilisation [...] Les technologies employées sont très légères et épousent le corps du porteur. 3, record 1, French, - exosquelette%20souple
