In recent years, we've seen an exo-splosion of exoskeletons. Models for factory workers, medical caregivers, contractors, and even for recreational hiking have all made their debut. Hyundai's Robotics LAB division, meanwhile, has been working on medical exoskeletons. Their H-MEX model is designed for paraplegics:

They've now adapted the design into this X-ble MEX version, designed for rehabilitative purposes.

The H-MEX was first unveiled in 2017, whereas the X-ble MEX is new. Note the differences in battery size between the two units, and you can get a sense of how much more compact these designs have gotten in just a few years.

"Developed for the purpose of lower muscle reconstruction, the robot aids walking rehabilitation and supports complex training movements beyond simple walking assistance. Through a real-time actuator control system, the robot helps patients move independently by assisting them with the strength needed to maintain balance for walking. It also supports various actions such as sitting, standing, walking, rotating and climbing stairs, which greatly enhances treatment efficiency and can motivate patients on their rehabilitation journey."

Here's the Xble MEX in action, being used to rehabilitate soldiers with leg injuries:

At this point the MEX units are still in the research phase, with no commercialization date announced.
