What it's like to wear an 'exoskeleton' suit

04:07

Cyborgs — like "RoboCop" — only exist in movies, right?

Maybe not for long. Boston Globe technology reporter Hiawatha Bray has been testing the real life "exoskeleton" suits that could make cyborgs more of a reality, including one from a local Cambridge company.

Bray joined WBUR's Morning Edition to share his reporting and how the technology could impact the workforce.

This segment aired on February 26, 2026.
