Jap's workin on 'Marine' Power Suit

Check this out. I wish I could be part of this research.

That's really cool, but it hardly resembles a Marine powersuit. This belongs in the lounge.

 

There's a company out in Utah (USA) that's working on some pretty advanced military grade robotic exoskeletons. The one I was reading about could lift small cars. They can't jump yet though.

 

Lift, like over their heads, or tip them over?

 

Too bad the video doesn't work well for me. And moved.

Here's a vid of the suit I think Jon meant.

 

About chest level afaik.

 

iron man to the rescue!

 

Each creature with an exoskeleton, like the crabe, the homard, etc .... is stronger than most of the creatures with an endoskeleton (like the human being).

This invention reminds me the robot Sigourney Weaver controled in Alien 2 when she fought against the Alien queen, at the end of the movie. Of course this was more fat than this new invention.
The Jap one is more discrete than the US one

 

Crabs and lobsters are stronger in the sense that they're more durable, not in the sense of being able to lift heavier objects. This 'exoskeleton' on the person is the exact opposite - it is vulnerable but enables the user to lift heavy objects.

This is most definitely the first step towards the marine power suit. And we're just in time, too

 

Japs built the first 'Gundam' If any of you are familiar with it.... 2 bad 1 U.S. Abrahm > 1 Gundam

 

Oh hey another one to add to the list.
How many is that? 20 or 30?

 

you think that is a marine suit? its original design and purpose is for nurses carrying patience...

 

Isn't Jap a derogatory term?

I've seen this. The US has one too.

 

Thats hardly news.

Most robotics firms are working on those

 

only revolutionary thing the japenese have made, was an actual AI that looks human
