Also, instead of carrying heavy loads, I think it would be useful to carry some extra Armor on soldiers. something that wouldn't able to be worn on normal circumstances. Just thinking aloud.

Exoskeletons don't have to cover the wearer. Exoskeletons are just that, skeletons on the outside, made of metal though, of course.

Also, the background is draped in a light color so you can see the foreground action more clearly. The backpack (power supply) bounces because the legs are moving, or are you too dense to get the point of the project?

You want a "true" exoskeleton? Search for videos of the Sarcos suit. DARPA is funding stuff your tiny brain couldn't begin to understand.

Until you get yourself a degree in any hard science, much less biodynamics, kindly STFU.

Why is it that people who never did better than a C in any science class suddenly decide that they know everything? The Berkeley project is designed specifically to create a power-assisted walker to help with carrying heavy loads for long distances, with emphasis on practical power solutions.

The "tin foil" look is the same as if you took the body panels off of any car -- you'd see the underlying structures, which aren't designed for aesthetics.

This ain't Gundam, nimrod, it's real.

Perhaps because it's too heavy?

And the purpose of the exoskeleton is......

not the weight. I think hes talking about space. Its just a large amount to carry it would have to go some where and they haven't perfected mobility yet anyway.
