Another video that demonstrates a human enhancing device that could be called an exoskeleton (the second half of the video is more interesting where they show the lifting abilities and the trial-and-error-skeletons they used before):
The possibilites of this thing should not be shown by the “pilot” lifting heavy stuff but by letting a disabled man walk. I mean what would Steven Hawking get constructed if that worked? If they show that to work, I understand that as a successful technology. Well by the way, it again shows that sci-fi films might be correct after all (think of the film Aliens and their lifting-exoskeletons).
