The medical field is another prime area for exoskeleton technology, where it can be used for enhanced precision during surgery. Working prototypes of powered exoskeletons, including XOS by Sarcos, and HULC by Lockheed Martin (both meant for military use), have been constructed but have not yet been deployed in the field. Several companies have also created exosuits for medical use, including the HAL 5 by Cyberdyne Inc. Various problems remain to be solved, the most daunting being the creation of a compact power supply powerful enough to allow an exoskeleton to operate for extended periods without being plugged into external power. A fictional mech(a) is different from a powered exoskeleton in that the mecha is typically much larger than a normal human body, and does not directly enhance the motion or strength of the physical limbs. Instead the human operator occupies a cabin or pilot's control seat inside a small portion of the larger system. Within this cabin the human may wear a small lightweight exoskeleton that serves as a haptic control interface for the much larger exterior appendages.

While the most successful UNSC powered armor project, Mjolnir is by no means the only such effort to physically augment soldiers in combat. After the failures of the Mark I, II and III Mjolnir suits, the UNSC Marine Corps began development of its own powered armor, the Cyclops, originally developed for shock infantry, then repurposed as heavy lifting equipment, then repurposed again as field technicians and demolitions units. RKD, an Earth think-tank, created the HAYABUSA project concurrently with Mjolnir and while the two were developed separately, they share many characteristics, and are interchangeable to a degree. Even the Covenant make use of powered armor, especially the Jiralhanae powered armor and the Sangheili Combat Harness, though their need for extra augmentation is lessened somewhat by the two species’ natural physical prowess. Even the Forerunners developed Combat Skins, using a class system based on numbers, on which the Mjolnir Mark V would rate as a class two.
