Old(to me) I see a lot of military types and i am in and out of the pentagon a lot. And everytime i stop by. My mom boss gives me a magazine called "ARMY" Its got advertising for different guns and whatnot in it. Policy changes, and discussions about different policies, most of it means nothing to me. But about 6 months ago i read a 20 page breif on those things. They are making a whole lot more than just those suits too.

     Yeah DB, it's old to me too. I've been tracking the development of exoskeletons for a good 2 or 3 years now since I first stubled on them but I like to share from time to time just to see what people think. The first article is pretty exciting because that means they have overcome one of their major porblems in making the suit respond fast enough. Now they just need to figure out the best fuel and make the thing to military specs and we can see these things kickin butt on CNN.

  ^^ I watch the military channel alot and I saw something like that.  BTW, I really did have an idea for that before I saw it.  It used a hydraulic system to assist in movement. But the government probably stole it with that mind reading device in my ear!

Inside out Six Million Dollar Man.

Is this to help paralyzed people walk?

That is amazing that people can do this now.

EDIT: The only problem I see with the military applications are problems with wear on muscles.

Anyone else see this problem because I see it as possible.

The movie Aliens (which came out before you were born) has robotic suits. You probably watched it and sometime other thought back to it.

I guess maybe. I mean people aren't gonna run 20 miles an hour and not feel it later. I'd say it's more likely that the greater mobility that would be provided by the fact that the soldier doesn't feel the 80 pound pack on his back and possibly "hopping" long distances with little strain on the troops legs and back. They're working on personal helicopters and jump jet type things too.


Sumthin like this:






ps
  here's how the exoskeletons will work! lol...
