plutherusI suppose that it was just a matter of time. But the army is developing the power-assist exoskeleton part of the powered armor long a staple of science fiction militaries.
"It is designed for agility that can match a human's..." Oh, yeah? Let's see him do a forward roll in that thing.
The article also mentions that "It is a long way off before we see robot soldiers that can fly or fire missiles..." Well, yeah: everyone knows that flying is the job of the space fleet, not the MI. Duh.
All joking aside, this is actually very cool. And more refined models will have applications way outside the military.
