This one can move as fast as you can though as far as upper limb movements go, and I read that they're implementing a knee-redesign so that the knees can swing free while running. This should allow it to both run faster and reduce energy consumption.

Yeah I've seen a few of these before. The U.S.A. is making excellent progress on making a full robotic suit of armor, hell we're trying to make them fly very shortly too. Biggest problem right now is these things can't move fast and the battery pack is big. I liked the idea of it getting power from the human being moving.

Actually a better one is available for the low low price of 15000 dollars

I remember reading an article in New Scientist that they were working on powering these with a small petrol-powered rotary engine and a device that stores kinetic energy in springs. Perhaps its greatest potential in its current form is for the emergency services. They need to get it to move faster and have it powerful enough to carry armour before it has any practicality in wide-spread military use.

With this technology, we could implement the project of Leonardo. The human flight, flying with wings.

Duel-wield Heavy MGs anyone?

Exoskeletons is VERY exiting technology!I think we are going to see something like this in work in just a few years, it's tech that's not only going to be used at the military - it has a lot of daily potential too.

that suit is retarded, the other one is way better, and its bullet proof.

Wow... :/ You just don't leave things.
