Wow, This is Super Cool

Via Hotair and Dangerroom is the next generation exoskeleton, I want one since my back problems limit my backpacking enjoyment.

There are so many great applications for this technology for those confined to crutches, canes and wheelchairs, good work guys. I guess Berkeley is good for something.

Dang! I want one too! I also suffer from back problems. Standing in one place too long or stooping really bothers me.

I'll bet this thing is really expensive!

I have a Santa Cruz cousin who graduated from Berkeley. She will be delighted at my very first positive statement regarding her place of indoctrination. Extra cool technology. Good one, Goat!

That is great but now watch the moonbats flip out as their school has betrayed them and helped the military.

Goat,
If you've ever seen the the movie "Aliens" (2nd in the franchise), you remember the robotic freight handler that Ripley used to kill the alien. It was a bigger, badder version of this. I always wondered if anyone would ever perfect such a device.

I have an uncle that has been in a wheel chair for over 30 years. If they can make this controlled without the leg's input and make him walk again, I would pay anything to get it.
