100% exoskeleton is a great analogy.

An exoskeleton is something really cool in movies that has zero reason to be build in reality because there are way more practical approaches.

That is why we have all kind of vehicles, or programmable robot arm that do the job for themselves or if you need a human at the helm one just adds a remote controller with levers and buttons. But making a human shaped gigantic robot with a normal human inside is just impractical for any real commercial use.
