The article discusses the potential of exoskeletons transcending their military, medical, and commercial applications to impact sports. It suggests that exoskeleton racing could emerge as a novel sport, likening it to the use of motorized vehicles in racing. However, integrating exoskeletons into established sports poses ethical and safety concerns, particularly regarding injury risks in contact sports like football. Existing safety principles will likely guide the resolution of these issues, which echo long-standing debates around sports equipment and safety standards.
While exoskeletons are being developed for military, medical, and commercial applications, they also hold immense potential for innovation in sports.
The ethical implications of using exoskeletons in sports resonate with the historical evolution of motorized sports, drawing parallels to the introduction of racing cars.
