Embryonic Transformers

This marks the age of the exoskeleton. In Austin this past month a Japanese company, Skeletonics, debuted a very cool exoskeleton.

As Jason Gilber reports,  "The wearer straps himself inside the suit and can then walk and jump around, controlling the arms and legs of the skeleton itself. The suit is made of simple aluminum, with several springs and mechanical joints that operate corresponding limbs on the skeleton. In what should be very exciting news for my fellow nerds, operating the suit looks like driving a Jaeger, like our heroes do in the movie Pacific Rim."

Presently this is for entertainment only with no on board computers or what have you, but what the future holds on Ripley knows . . .
