XOS: Real Life 'Iron Man' Suit

[Rs0n1sT]

Iron Man is definitely going to be a huge hit, but where do we stand on a powered exoskeleton in the real world? Researchers at Raytheon Sarcos are developing the XOS Exoskeleton that could create a real world Iron Man.

This exoskeleton works by sensing the wearer's desired movement and mimicking the action, like a shadow. It requires a power source, but can make lifting 200 pounds feel like it's only 10.

The benefits of a fully functional exoskeleton would be incredibly numerous with applications in the military, rescue work, construction, and more.

Interview with Marvel as well as Steve Jacobsen, the creator of the XOS.
