Exoskeleton turns soldiers to super-soldiers...

Imagine putting on a suit that enhances your stamina, a suit that extends your overall durability and agility. What would say if a suit could make you do 500 lat pull down at a weight level of 200 pounds without breaking a sweat? Not much of a work-out since the suit is doing most of the work for you. Now imagine this in the hands of our soldiers. Our soldiers would no longer be bound to their fatigue. This exoskeleton would permit them to perform their task pretty much all day. No need to rest I suppose.

This first video was posted back in 2007, but it is interesting. I wonder what stage they are at today.



This is a more recent posting from wired on youtube, but it looks very similar.
