1、‘Iron Man' body armor
“钢铁侠”战甲成为主流
Imagine wearing high-tech body armor that makes you super strong and tireless. Such technology, more specifically called an exoskeleton, sounds like the preserve of the “Iron Man” series of superhero movies.
想象自己穿上高科技人体铠甲，变得超级强大、不知疲倦。这种技术的学名为外骨骼，听起来就像超级英雄电影《钢铁侠》系列的保留项目。
Yet the equipment is increasingly being worn in real life around the world. And one manufacturer - California's SuitX - expects it to go mainstream.

In simple terms, an exoskeleton is an external device that supports, covers and protects its user, giving greater levels of strength and endurance.
简而言之，外骨骼就是支撑、遮盖和保护使用者的外部设备，为其提供更高水平的力量和耐力。
Sometimes also referred to as wearable robots, they can be battery-powered and computer-operated, incorporating motors and hydraulics. Or they can be more simple, passive designs that use springs and dampeners.
