Harvard researchers at the university's Wyss Institute have developed a hip "exosuit," and it looks like a pair of robotic shorts, as first reported by The Verge.

The soft exosuit makes walking and running easier through something called a cable actuation system: "The actuation cables apply a tensile force between the waist belt and thigh wraps to generate an external extension torque at the hip joint that works in concert with the gluteal muscles," Benjamin Boettner of the Wyss Institute writes.

"We are excited to continue to apply it to a range of applications, including assisting those with gait impairments, industry workers at risk of injury performing physically strenuous tasks, or recreational weekend warriors," Walsh continued.
