first practical, efficient and cheap exoskeleton

[Ravioli]

btw, the commercial/trailers whatever you call it, for this product really suck, doesnt catch the true charisma of the exoskeleton. Maybe they should do something more like this:

Or something more like this:

No, it's Bruce.



If there's a chemical or biological attack, or even any sort of attack of any kind, there would be little need for unpacking. Hell, how are you going to run away at 10mph burst speed if you pack it up?!

If there is a chemical or biological attack, you would want to take that thing off and put on some NBC gear as soon as possible. It doesn't matter how fast you run if some nasty gas is busy burning your skin, or if there is nuclear radiation in the area.

I don't see this being used in the military for anything other than special operations anyway. Even then it would be some secret squirrel shit that none of us would even know or probably care about. Something like this would be more useful for construction or something. If I was making this, I would try to sell it to civlians rather than the military.

You really don't see it, do you? You wouldn't take that shit off. You'd die with it on, your arms [easily] raised high in triumph at your mechanical superiority to the rest of the human race.

 

[Mech Man]

If your so superior to the rest of the human race while wearing that thing , why would you die so easily in the first place?

 

[Druckles]

You don't have to live to be superior. You'd just look so frickin' awesome.

 

[Omnomnick]

Wow, this is pretty cool. Whatever happened to that big robotic suit thing which could lift alot of weight? That was sweet.

 

[Hectic Glenn]

whether this is joking or not, is this kind of stuff not moderated on these forums?

My utmost apologies, we didn't notice that comment from Zombieturtle and he has now been given an infraction for his comment, and it has been removed. If people press the little ! button to report posts like this, we could deal with it much more quickly.

 

[Druckles]

Can we laugh and then report the post?

Oh, hi there, you must be new to the internet, welcome...and also, remember the number one rule: Dont take anything seriously...

besides...im sure im not the only one who lol'd a bit. Chris Rock makes jokes about "crackaz" all the time, but no one got offended by that...because its not offensive, its comedy, its making fun of what is otherwise considered wrong, which is a common and normal formula for comedy if you didnt already know.

:thumbs:

Racial jokes are still racist, no matter how much you try to soften them.

Example: How many african american gentlemen does it take to change a lightbulb?

Know what I mean?


Also, exoskeleton technology still has many years or R&D before it ever becomes practical.

Plus, prices for this stuff will have to come waaaaaaaaaaay down. These things currently cost hundreds of thousands of dollars ammirite?

so running easily with 150 pounds on your back for a good amount of hours is not even a tiny bit practical?

Not if it doesn't have a decent power supply that lasts longer than a few hours, and yes reasonable pricing would have a heavy impact on practicality.

Example: Due to an unprecedented actuation and power delivery technology, an 80 W-hour battery which weighs 1.2 pounds is sufficient to power this exoskeleton to carry 150 pound of load for 21 hours while the wearer feels no load on her/his shoulder

Well ok, that's not too bad, but exactly how "cheap" are they talking?
