Exoskeletons can be quite cheap in the future. This arm was made for around $100 and has the potential to help elderly and disabled people
The moving mechanism is still in development, but otherwise it works perfect.
Would love to hear from you guys!

You feel it, too, don't you?

Quite cool. Is it necessary to have "Intuitive control"? I mean, if the exoskeleton just supports your elbow, you have to grip the thing you want to carry with your hand anyway. How do you plan to solve this? Wouldn't it be better to implement a complete "clamp" or something?

Well since elderly and disabled will be main users, it's important that they can carry objects with fully flexed arm or not. Also, moving this exoskeleton when powered off is not that simple. So in order to "hardly feel" the arm and that it doesn't bother you when doing different tasks, it must follow your arm.
