Researchers are progressing in the development of wearables, electronically responsive exoskeleton system or ecosystems, which will one day be capable of competing with the famous Iron Man suit. These exoskeletons can upgrade a human’s power, mobility, agility, and endurance. As a result, they are especially useful for soldiers in the field. These systems are being tested for use on the battlefield where army personnel has to achieve focused tactical manoeuvres while carrying heavy equipment. However, the question is, if wearing this exoskeleton will be affecting the soldier’s cognitive abilities as well.

This Iron Man Like Exoskeleton Puts An Impact On the Decision Making Abilities Of Soldiers MIT researched this question and found the answer. « You don’t want them to have to focus on how they’re stepping because of the exoskeleton. That’s why I was interested in how much attention these technologies require». Watch the video to see how these wearables are going to affect human decision making in the future.
