Human Exoskeletons Getting Closer

Posted by kdawson on from the forever-war dept.

ColdWetDog writes "It's not Sigourney Weaver tossing aliens about, but The Register has an interesting blurb about a real human-capable exoskeleton that looks pretty cool (Lockheed-Martin press release). Runs for three hours at 3 mph on internal batteries; max speed is 7 mph. Of course, no price is listed but I suppose if you have to ask you can't afford it. Team this up with a Big Dog and you've got the ultimate high-tech cross-country team. Bring your own batteries. Or just wait for your jetpack to arrive."

    "the wisdom of the American people that was so on display when Obama was elected"

    um, are you suggesting he was elected because he is black? other than that fact he doesn't stand out in any real way from other politicians. his policies certainly aren't anything more than run of the mill democrate policies.
