In order to promote the application of military powered exoskeletons in combat, the more mature military powered exoskeleton projects at home and abroad are analyzed and reviewed. The specific functions and application status of key technologies such as human-machine coupling, active control, machine drive, energy supply, and new materials are introduced, and new technologies that may be beneficial to the development of exoskeleton systems in the future are foreseen in the light of military needs. The results show that the analysis can provide technical reference for the development of military-powered exoskeletons in China.
