Tabonga 1,975 Member · Posted July 30, 2020 Author Share Posted July 30, 2020 (edited) There was a an old scifi short story called Waldo: Genius in Orbit (Robert Heinlein - 1958) that first postulated the idea of an exoskeleton. They are sometimes called Waldos because of that. Edited July 30, 2020 by Tabonga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
