>>>Why would it be easier or more efficient to program a suit to direct a human to perform a specific operation than program a robot to perform the same operation?
Just off the top of my head I would say the amount of power needed to drive a humans muscles would be exponentially less.
You also may not need to program things like balance, walking, object avoidance or abort sequences if coding for a symbiotic human machine as these would be instinctual on the human side.
>>>How would it be cheaper or more efficient to maintain a human than a robot?
This is bit trickier, but I would say the big one is the fact that humans have a built in regenerative system.
Also a human can tell you what hurts, this would require less diagnostics maybe?
This is all speculative anyways, but it would be nice to control even one of my arms via cnc, I could do calligraphy like a pro, paint like a master, even play the piano like a prodigy just by downloading a bit of code. I don't see any issues with morality if someone programs their own body to preform those tasks.
