A month or so ago that there was a thread about Mech warriors, if it was possible by todays standards.
A few of those posts were about exo armour... and how those ideas were skoffed at, by the same people praising this newest thread.
Please, people, stick to your guns!

may I suggest all you novel reading nuts read this book.
The Tin Man
Dale Brown is my absolute favourite SciFi Author. I have every book of his and read them constantly. He puts you in the cockpit of many hi tech "dreams".
The tin man was an offshoot.. I suppose he was bored writing fighter pilot novels....BUT GOD DAMN.. you have no idea how close to the truth he has become with this book.

It looks like this technology may be here sooner than we expected.
"We set out to create an exoskeleton that combines a human control system with robotic muscle," said Homayoon Kazerooni, professor of mechanical engineering and director of UC Berkeley’s Robotics and Human Engineering Laboratory. "We’ve designed this system to be ergonomic, highly maneuverable and technically robust so the wearer can walk, squat, bend and swing from side to side without noticeable reductions in agility. The human pilot can also step over and under obstructions while carrying equipment and supplies."
"The researchers point out that the human pilot does not need a joystick, button or special keyboard to "drive" the device. Rather, the machine is designed so that the pilot becomes an integral part of the exoskeleton, thus requiring no special training to use it. In the UC Berkeley experiments, the human pilot moved about a room wearing the 100-pound exoskeleton and a 70-pound backpack while feeling as if he were lugging a mere 5 pounds. "
