    Iron Man's fictional tech may soon become real. Inside a mountain lab, researchers have already built motorized suits that give ordinary people superhuman strength. // By use of this code snippet, I agree to the Brightcove Publisher T and C // found at http://corp.brightcove.com/legal/terms_publisher.cfm. var config = new Array(); /* * feel free to edit these configurations * to modify the player experience */ config["videoId"] = null; //the default video loaded into the player config["videoRef"] = null; //the default video loaded into the player by ref id specified in console config["lineupId"] = null; //the default lineup loaded into the player config["playerTag"] = null; //player tag used for identifying this page in brightcove reporting config["autoStart"] = false; //tells the player to start playing video on load config["preloadBackColor"] = "#FFFFFF"; //background color while loading the player /* * set the player's size using the parameters below * to make this player dynamically resizable, set the width and height as a percentage */ config["width"] = 486; config["height"] = 412; /* do not edit these config items */ config["playerId"] = 1494874797; createExperience(config, 8); We've told you all about the Raytheon Sarcos XOS exoskeleton, the smart suit of armor that endows its wearer with super-human strength. Now see it in action, and meet the minds behind both Iron Men—real, and imaginary.

    Awesome, but they could do some things to make it better, the arms since they arent form fitting im willing to bet that it isnt particularly comfordable for a person to use the suit, and for the flying portion, instead of going with the in the legs version that ironman used, wouldnt it be better to make a kind of detachible pack with wings that house all the flight systems and then the controls for the engines and whatnot could be combined into the hand portions so taht its kind of like there are 2 joysticks that the person would control with their thumbs and would use rather similarly to a remotecontrol helecopter only minus the torque issues with the rotors and having to monitor the trim at different speeds. PS how much does 1 of these cost?
