Berkeley Bionics Human Exoskeleton

Me and Kathy think it's pretty cool.  We need one of those. Many spinal injuries can be avoided when loading and unloading heavy equipment.

and to think.. this was in use in 2005..

how much for one :D

Cool man.

Another step toward power armor, soon we will see Space Marines!

Don't misunderstand what this is useful for. It's not going to give anyone super-strength. This is purely for load carrying and reducing fatigue while traveling, which is of great concern for infantry, who would like to transport more supplies and equipment than they really have room for.

The reasons this is useful to the armor are the same as why it would be useful to campers and hikers. It's all about long distance travel!

That said, this is VERY useful, and very cool =)

i know

cover this bitch in nano polymer tech n we got some crazy ass super warriors

best game ever!

I am surprise the American and/or Australian military isn't using it yet.

i wonder if there are also fitness applications for this.
