servo-assisted Power Armour?!?

The only thing that would be cooler than that would be an oil company named Poseidon.SuAside said:and one of the belgian ISPs is Skynet. so what?![]()
"Manufacturing robots and realistic humanoid robots are just two of the numerous kinds of robots that are already in use. A robot suit is a wearable device that dramatically increases the strength of the wearer."
"When you want to move your body, your brain sends out an electric signal that is received by your muscles, which then contract, thus producing motion. This electric signal travels to the muscles via the body's nerves, generating a slight voltage of electricity on the surface of the skin. This is known as a bioelectric signal, and Robot Suit HAL detects them using the sensors placed around the wearer's body."
"When a person wearing Robot Suit HAL picks up an object that weighs 40 kg, he/she feels as if it weighed only a few kilograms."
The powered armour thing would be a lot cooler if I weren't certain that we'll all be seeing them marching down our various streets in the name of "maintaining law and order" in the near future.
Some of us will even get to experience, possibly for the first time in our lives, what it feels like to be thrown bodily through a solid brick wall.
Can't wait..
