Researchers at the Technical University of Munich have developed a soft robotic exosuit that assists older adults with standing up and walking. In a study, ten participants completed sit-to-stand movements faster while wearing the suit, suggesting the wearable technology could help seniors stay mobile and independent in daily life.

Why now: The newly published study shows wearable robotics may improve mobility and independence for an ageing population.
