Claim One:
1. An exoskeleton, comprising: an exoskeleton comprised of a plurality of structural members, one or more robotic joints at which the plurality of structural members are movably attached, and a plurality of actuators connected to the structural members which are capable of providing a motive force for moving the structural members in relation to the robotic joints, the structural members and robotic joints arranged to facilitate movement of the exoskeleton in conformance with at least a portion of a human anatomy when the exoskeleton is worn by a user; a controller which generates actuator control signals that control the actuators in response to a plurality of input signals to produce a movement of the exoskeleton; at least one electrical activity sensor arranged to sense electrical signals associated with a body of an exoskeleton user; wherein the controller identifies an occurrence of a particular neural or neuromuscular condition of the user responsive to an output from the at least one electrical activity sensor, and selects a controller operating mode from among a plurality of different operating modes based on the occurrence, wherein the operating mode selected determines the response the control system will have to control inputs from the human operator.
