  Artificial powered exoskeleton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An artificial powered exoskeleton is a self-powered exoskeleton typically intended for use by humans in battle, construction and survival in dangerous environments.
Powered armor is heavily used in science fiction role-playing games, such as Rifts, to allow weak and mundane humans to compete in combat with supernatural and super-powerful adversaries.
The suits seen in the anime and manga versions of Spriggan and Gantz or skull suit from Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty would be prime example of this form of armor.

Powered Armor: Powered armor suits (sometimes called "battlesuits") are suits of light armor, usually designed around a powered exoskeleton and containing mechanical and electronic mechanisms designed to augment the wearer's natural ability.
Powered armors have been used in the world's military forces since 1991, when France deployed the first practical battle suits in the Gulf War.

 Robot Suits - Powered suits that support disabled or elderly individuals
These suits work by supplementing the wearer’s own physical strength and can be used for everyday activities such as walking or for rehabilitation.
Another type of powered suit is designed to be worn by caregivers and boosts their strength to help them perform physical tasks, such as lifting the people they care for.
Researchers from both industry and academia are involved in developing these suits and are continually improving their designs with the goal of making them available for practical use in care and rehabilitation situations.

Power Armour is manufactured on a number of high tech worlds - Pancahte for one - but is not in universal use.
That is to say, as a suit of the powered armour weighs as much as the person wearing it, vehicles can only carry half as many troops.
The advantage that powered armour offers, weighed against logistics, limited range and cost, is twofold: extra protection for the wearer plus the ability to utilise heavier weapons than would normally be carried by an infantryman.

Powered armor is used by the UPF and certain rich and powerful megacorporations and planetary governments for planetary raids, antiarmor strikes, search-and-destroy missions, and various other activities across the Frontier.
Soldiers in powered armor are usually landed by shuttles or dropped to a planet from orbit by assault transports: large, bulky ships equipped with ion engines, each capable of carrying 2,000 normal troops, or 700 powered troops and 10 shuttles.

 Marine Equipment Guide
Larger powered armor suits have been phased out because, while they are capable of allowing the wearer to sustain heavier damage and carry heavier weapons, they severely limit maneuverability and stealth.
In scout mode, the suit is equipped with a standard type III phaser weapon, an advanced sensor system, a secure tight beam transmitter, and additional power packs.
While scout equipped suits do not offer a substantial increase in firepower over a conventionally armored marine, they allows the marine to move at sustained speeds up to 60 kph and have approximately 50 hours of endurance with the suit sealed to atmosphere and using onboard life support.

 Mockery's Cyberpunk 2020 Page
Non-grafted linear frames, known as powered exoskeletons, exos, or, rarely, sidekicks, are designed to be an intermediary step between grafted linear frames and the full-scale powered ACPA suits like the ones defined in Maximum Metal.
Note that this is for bare exos only; ACPA suits SDP is half their STR, presumably because of internalized and more sensitive controllers (being more complex, they break down easier -- it's simpler to wreck a cellular phone than an old-fashioned dumbbell receiver).
A damaged frame will continue to function at full abilities until it fails a breakdown roll; this is equal to the percentage it has been damaged (a STR 34 exo, with SDP 17 and 5 points of damage on it, has a 30% chance of failure each turn).

The powered suits will help soldiers carry and use larger weapons and to take heavier loads into battle.
The suits could also act as body armour or have physiological monitoring systems that let officers know the health of the troops under their command.
Other sensors or power packs distributed around the body of a soldier got in the way when combatants were crawling and made it harder for them to hide.
