First summary draft: Where's My Supersuit

-
In the article, “Where’s My Supersuit”, Karl Zelik(2019) has stated that human exoskeletons are under development for injury prevention, public use, and numerous other application suggestions. 5 years ago, they are initially developed to reduce the fatigue of jobs. Most people can benefit from the creation of exoskeletons. However, the exoskeletons are expensive, bulky and uncomfortable. These motorized exo-suits are targeted to assist the legs, arms, and hands.it could also be used to teach proper lifting techniques or to provide resistance training. Spring-powered exo-suits are also developed to assist ankle muscles for walking and running. Other developments would include neck-support for surgeons and nurses for surgical procedures. A clothing-like exoskeleton is developed for patients with lower back pain. The mechanized clothing will prevent pain. When the suit is switched off, the user will be able to move freely.

The initial goals I set for myself was to improve my writing skills and to be able to speak more confidently by the end of this module. I am proud to say that I managed to exceed my expectations with the help of Prof.Brad and school peers.

Thankfully, Professor Brad has been guiding us throughout. Throughout the course of this module, we were tasked to do in-class activity with different peers like paraphrasing an article and giving feedback to different peers.
