Some folks with a lot of time and money on their hands built this XOS Exoskeleton with sensors built in that amplify humans strengths and speeds. Looks like they need more money to make it last more than 40 mins and to get rid of that cable sticking out the back. The top picture proves that its good for bowling though. Via Gizmodo.

Now if they make this prototype on say... a mobile suit kind of level, you could have yourself an eva (plugsuit and all). That'd be incredibly awesome :D

All they need to do now is have the guy dress up like Eva Unit 01.

gotta start with baby steps.. now invest millions of yen andstreamline it and sell it to the otaku :D

That's nice. If they get more funding, they could make it even better. I would love to see the final product!!!
(ID #175149) Posted on 2008/04/25 10:48
cool...if they had even more funding, i believe they could even make one thats integrated with the human skeleton

Heh, it was featured on discovery channel some time ago. Too bad this is not a japanese dev, probably will turn out to be Iron man instead of gundam. The japanese are quite adamant about non-military uses for their robotics tech, i believe.

This reminds me of the halo book. The first prototype suit had a cable attached to it, next came the heavy battery then came master chief

Wow damn. Looks like personal battlesuit technilogy is fast approaching a feasible stage. Awsome, cant wait to see what they can do with that lol.

Having this Robotic Skeleton on and that robotic Honda thigh thingy that allows you to run up to 50 mph. This would be a good combo. Too bad the cable for the skeleton will get in the way, o_o .

This is eerily similiar to the development path of the MLJOLNIR armor all Halo fans love.

looking at some of the recent dovelopments it wont bee long till we are all running round in armoured battlesuits >.<
(ID #176327) Posted on 2008/04/28 05:07
but look at it this way. It can be used for medical purposes like when someone is paralyzed and wanted to move. That suit will come right into action. then again on the otherside.....It's a nightmare....I dont need to tell you guys what it is. surely you already know.
