Spinal cord injuries have unpredictable outcomes. While some recover full movement, most of them suffer permanent paralysis, ranging from partial to full-body. Alongside paralysis often comes the loss of bladder control, sexual dysfunction, bedsores, and psychological state issues, among other challenges. The solution for this is the Exoskeleton and the AI technology that offers opportunities to expand virtual and physical access for individuals with disabilities. We will disclose some machines that have an excellent impact on the lives of the elderly and other people with disabilities. However, a very important part of bringing these opportunities to success is guaranteeing that approaching AI technology works well for individuals with a large variety of skills. This paper shows how a wearable exoskeleton suit helps paralyzed people regain their ability to walk, how it works, and how this technology can be improved.
