The widespread usage of exoskeletal robotics to augment human beings moved a step closer when Raytheon demonstrated its second generation Exoskeleton, the XOS 2. The new robotic suit is lighter, faster and stronger than the original proof-of-concept XOS 1, yet uses half the power. While Raytheon's development is primarily focused on military usage, exoskeletons for the mobility-impaired are already at market and industrial exoskeletons from Japan, Korea and Isreal are not far behind. One day in the not-too-distant future, one of these suits will enable us all to have superhuman strength, speed and endurance. (Source: Gizmag)Monday, November 22, 2010
