이 논문은 걷기와 달리기 모두에서 대사 에너지를 절감할 수 있는 휴대용 엑소슈트(exosuit)를 개발하고 그 성능을 입증했습니다. 이 장치는 엉덩이 관절 신전(hip extension)을 보조하며, 착용자의 질량 중심 위치 에너지 변화를 분석해 보행 형태를 자동으로 감지하고 적합한 보조 모드로 전환합니다. 트레드밀 실험 결과, 엑소슈트 착용 시 걷기(1.5m/s)에서는 9.3%, 달리기(2.5m/s)에서는 4.0%의 대사율 감소가 확인되었습니다. 이는 각각 7.4kg과 5.7kg의 무게를 덜어낸 것과 유사한 효과이며, 다양한 속도와 오르막 경사 조건에서도 유효성이 확인되었습니다.
