Real-Life Iron Man: A Robotic Suit That Magnifies Human Strength
April 30, 2008

The prospect of slipping into a robotic exoskeleton that could enhance strength, keep the body active while recovering from an injury or even serve as a prosthetic limb has great appeal. Unlike the svelt body armor donned by Iron Man, however, most exoskeletons to date have looked more like clunky spare parts cobbled together.

Wow.. This one looks cool enough to wear!!

Mac Daddy · 7th May 2008, 07:00 PM

Hey that does look cool

I wonder if people will finally get out of my way at the grocery store if I am wearing one of those

hmm.... would be very useful for workers having to carry heavy load.

"ultimate strength"

I was thinking it comes closer to being a Crysis nanosuit than the Iron Man suit.
