I myself am having a good deal of trouble walking any distance (more that about 100 feet), I would love to have such a device - for legs only! It would certainly beat a wheel chair. Especially if it can go up and down stairs. Recently I came across a link for a Japanese model that looked very streamlined and light weight.

Can anyone help me locate this link again. I don't seem to be able to find it again. It looked something like ASIMO but much lighter.]]>Apr 23rd 2008 6:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/30/sarcos-to-produce-us-armys-exoskeltons-in-2008/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/30/sarcos-to-produce-us-armys-exoskeltons-in-2008/]]>May 4th 2008 8:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/30/sarcos-to-produce-us-armys-exoskeltons-in-2008/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/30/sarcos-to-produce-us-armys-exoskeltons-in-2008/Jun 5th 2008 11:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/30/sarcos-to-produce-us-armys-exoskeltons-in-2008/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/30/sarcos-to-produce-us-armys-exoskeltons-in-2008/Oct 16th 2009 1:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/30/sarcos-to-produce-us-armys-exoskeltons-in-2008/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/30/sarcos-to-produce-us-armys-exoskeltons-in-2008/Oct 30th 2006 1:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/30/sarcos-to-produce-us-armys-exoskeltons-in-2008/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/30/sarcos-to-produce-us-armys-exoskeltons-in-2008/

Armour was gotten rid of because it didn't stop 20-30 pound cannon balls from blowing off limbs, not because it couldn't stop fire from muskets or bullets when they came later. If the armour was thick enough it could stop lower powered ballistics from penetrating a person's skin.]]>Oct 30th 2006 5:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/30/sarcos-to-produce-us-armys-exoskeltons-in-2008/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/30/sarcos-to-produce-us-armys-exoskeltons-in-2008/Oct 30th 2006 9:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/30/sarcos-to-produce-us-armys-exoskeltons-in-2008/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/30/sarcos-to-produce-us-armys-exoskeltons-in-2008/Dec 24th 2007 5:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/30/sarcos-to-produce-us-armys-exoskeltons-in-2008/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/30/sarcos-to-produce-us-armys-exoskeltons-in-2008/Oct 31st 2006 3:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/30/sarcos-to-produce-us-armys-exoskeltons-in-2008/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/30/sarcos-to-produce-us-armys-exoskeltons-in-2008/Jun 5th 2008 11:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/30/sarcos-to-produce-us-armys-exoskeltons-in-2008/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/30/sarcos-to-produce-us-armys-exoskeltons-in-2008/Oct 31st 2006 7:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/30/sarcos-to-produce-us-armys-exoskeltons-in-2008/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/30/sarcos-to-produce-us-armys-exoskeltons-in-2008/
As for why we can't all just get along and sing kumbuya, grow up hippies. Peace is a zero sum game, viable only as long as no one has a reasonable chance (real or percieved) at gain via violence. That, unfortunately, is the real politik of the human condition. As long as you cover you eyes and try to dispell it with good thoughts rather than removing the motivation of those contemplating harm by being prepared to do violence of your own, them you're just setting yourself up as a victim.]]>Oct 31st 2006 9:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/30/sarcos-to-produce-us-armys-exoskeltons-in-2008/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/30/sarcos-to-produce-us-armys-exoskeltons-in-2008/But,Way to use these high-tech is totally defferent between USA and Japan.

It's main use would be loading stuff etc vs the battle field.
Also soldiers are often over loaded on the battle field being forced to carry more and more and this could help them.]]>Nov 29th 2007 2:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/30/sarcos-to-produce-us-armys-exoskeltons-in-2008/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/30/sarcos-to-produce-us-armys-exoskeltons-in-2008/Dec 1st 2007 8:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/30/sarcos-to-produce-us-armys-exoskeltons-in-2008/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/30/sarcos-to-produce-us-armys-exoskeltons-in-2008/suit that provided protection against chemical and biological and radiation warfare.
