Amazing Robotic Exoskeleton



A robotic exoskeleton that reflects every body movement of the wearer, with gentleness or force, and smooth as can be. This is a real advance, if they can get it off the tether (which is there for power and safety).

"The human is a machine that functions only within the limitations of
flesh and bone...

Robotic exoskeleton mimics everything [Rex] wants to do...

If you step out of it, it becomes a humanoid [autonomous] robot. If you step into it, it becomes teleoperated and you become a superhero."

Add a protective shell, with all the networking and comm gear you need ...

...and you have the warrior of the future...

... but who says a human has to be inside?

Such a machine could be teleoperated (like a UAV) from thousands of miles away, providing complete safety to the human soldier.

The future? Machines fighting machines... until the batteries wear out
