That is no way the same as parasitic or similar organism manipulating technology.

Atlas is very much mechanical based when it comes to technology, especially when it comes to robotics. The closest thing that could suggest they might have an inkling towards technology that involves the manipulation of other organism to interact with the human body would not be their incredibly narrow focused soul research, but rather their seemingly more advanced medical knowledge judging by Ironwood and the sheer level of injury he has incurred.

Still nothing to say they would make symbiotic battlesuits and I highly doubt they will. Like I said, outside of soul research and if I had to guess anti-aura weaponry related to that, they are basically mechanical weapon based.

The only thing of the sort I could possibly imagine is using knowledge of aura and its properties to make body covering forcefields mimicking the shields. Useful for soldiers who don't have unlocked auras for whatever reason and for specialists to basically give them a buffer before their own aura starts to defend from damage.
