A paraplegic sportsman has been able to walk for the first time in more than 10 years thanks to the aid of a robotic exoskeleton.Jun-beom Park was paralysed in 2008 after being involved in an accident on the way to a school exam.He damaged his thoracic vertebrae and suffered from depression as a result of the incident, isolating himself from his friends and family for a year.Now, 11 years after sustaining the injury, an exoskeleton suit developed by Hyundai Motors Robotics Lab has enabled Mr Park to walk again.
