Robotic Exoskeleton Suit Technologies For Military, Health...

Summary My research question is â€Å"To what extent should the Australian government consider supporting investment in public and private companies for the purpose of developing robotic exoskeleton-suit technologies for military, health and industrial uses?†. My inspiration into robotic exoskeleton suits is Ironman and I’m interested in robotics and human enhancement. {I have huge interest in robotics and human enhancement since a very young age. This interest was further magnified after watching the Ironman movie, a superhero who developed a Hi-Tech robotic exoskeleton suit.} This was an interesting and valuable topic for me as I want to study engineering at university. My primary research included interview, surveys and personal experience†¦show more content†¦I gained a better understanding of the topic and the issues regarding it. Surveys I chose to conduct a survey as my topic is regarding government involvement in the funding of the technological development of robotic exoskeleton suit. I wanted to determine the general public’s knowledge regarding the topic, how they perceive this technology and in the process educate them about the topic. This helped me answer my research question by making a judgement on all gathered information. Quantitative data was produced from the survey results which was used as a primary source and was further correlated to my secondary sources. From a trial run of surveys, it was determined that my initial survey questions was hard to understand by some participants. It contained many scientific words and the participants lacked the scientific knowledge to comprehend. To resolve this issue and gain the best possible results, some words were altered to maximise the ease of understanding of the questions. As the participants lacked the knowledge regarding this topic and this would majorly affects their judgement and the survey results, I included informative paragraphs which the participants could read and gain some knowledge. OR I included the informative paragraphs which the participants were required to read in order to proceed with the survey. My final survey composed of 7
