Starship Troopers?!!

by @ 8:50 pm on November 29, 2007. Filed under Miscellaneous

Well its not Starship Troopers quite yet but a Sarcos Exoskeleton.

 Expskeleton

Two-hundred pound pulldowns are easy; you can lift 70 pound ammunition cases endlessly. You can run in the suit, and walk up stairs, all carrying heavy loads.

Although the model shown in the video is tethered by power lines, future models will carry battery backpack power. The Sarcos exoskeleton is also designed to carry on without its human wearer in an autonomous mode. Also, the company is designing the exoskeleton with different kinds of armored coverings.

Watch the video and learn more about it here.
