Taiwan has unveiled an ‘ironman’ exoskeleton suit on October 26, 2021. The first generation lower-body suit enables soldiers to carry heavy loads and reportedly move at speeds of up to 6km/h (3.7mph). It’s designed to enhance endurance on the battlefield, as well as for use in rescue and relief missions. The demonstration comes amid heightened tensions across the Taiwan Strait. By 2023, the self-ruled island’s defence ministry plans to develop version 2.0 of the suit with even greater capabilities.
