The Titan Arm, designed by three students at the University of Pennsylvania,
fits onto the back and arms of anyone who needs a little help manipulating
objects - whether that's someone who works at UPS and is picking up packages
all day, or someone with muscular dystrophy who has trouble lifting a glass
of water.

live fully-empowered lives. Using an exoskeleton, both patients and the
elderly will be able to regain their independence.
