The birth of cyborgs is well nigh. I'm just wondering when they will make the full body suits:

If you need to strap on an exoskeleton just to carry your backpack, I am guessing what you really need is a mule.

That backpack is probably just the battery! :)

Cool concept though.

True, but you don't have to clean up after the exo-skeleton. :P

it's hydrolic, and runs on fuel.

so it can last quite a while. (the backpack is just that, a backpack)

you can carry that backpack with 40KGs in it, and it feels like only 2KGs.

they are continuing research into JUMPING models :D. at the moment this exoskeletan can only walk on smooth terrain or slopes.
