The future is now!

Wow. I've seen exo-skeleton videos before, but damn.. this blows them all away. Doesn't look clunky at all, the guy is able to run, kneel, crawl on the ground, climb rough terrain, walk side to side.. all while carrying an extra 100+ lb payload. wow!

Wonder what the battery life is like.

[CairnSeeker]

That does look quite impressive. The fact that it is so non-obstructive alone is quite a feat.

Dangit. Was hopin for at least 2. Once someone develops low cost, lighweight, super-long lasting batteries we're gonna see technology explode.

they are working on some form of nuculear batteries. it would be cool not to have to buy so many hearing aid batteries.

[ElastiGirl]

Ehhhhh?


Speak up!!!!

[insomniac]

Nuclear batteries would give a whole new meaning to "Dispose of properly" and that thing about not putting them in fire.

[elmo]

yeah sure it might stop the 200pounds from pulling you back but crushes you forward

[LostHopeOfDusk]

Nuclear? That is to dangerous, and would violate international laws. Long life rechargeable batteries would be a better bet, who cares if charging takes like h a day, as long as you have spare ones?. But is going to take decades before those suits become a real alternative to tanks.

Don't call me crazy but I think this puts the T-800 to shame.

If you're thinking of something like iron man or mobile suits then yeah, we're at least 100 years off for that. But for something like the power lifters in aliens we're not that far off.
