A small team of students who go by the name of Skeletonics set out to make a powered suit that would extend the movement of a humans arms n legs without the aid of any motors. The project took 6 months to complete from conception and this is what they ended up with - a powered suit by the name of Skeletonics -hybrid word from Skeleton and Mechanics.
The whole suit is completely powered by human motion alone and is made from aluminum sheets and pipes.
