Here it is folks the wave of the future. I was just watching on ATV World TV out of HK and saw this program being talked about. Its being worked on currently at Cornell University. The only hold-up at this point is the power supply and the coordination of getting the hydraulics to act in sync and allow fluid human movement unhindered and assisted within the suit.

It's also being tested on the experimental uniform at Natick Soldier Systems. It is call the Future Warrior or Soldier 2025
