No empirical conclusions yet on whether hip-knee integrated exoskeletons can be used daily
What happened
A user on Reddit r/robotics asked whether consumer-grade lower-limb exoskeletons can already support daily use. The discussion noted that early products mostly provided only hip assistance, while newer systems such as Hypershell and Vastnaut now cover both hip and knee, and are considered to be closer to natural assistance for long-distance walking, stair climbing and rough terrain. However, the discussion provided no empirical data or usage conclusions, and there is still no verification result on whether hip-knee integrated exoskeletons can truly be used for daily assistance.
