​Cyborgs and exoskeletons fact vs. reality

​This exoskeleton helps people walk who have certain muscle or tendon problems.

​Around 2010, two major exoskeleton projects for the military were brought to the public’s attention: the HULC (Human Universal Load Carrier) by Ekso Bionics and Lockheed Martin and the XOS and XOS2 by Sarcos/Raytheon.  Both were full body suits for solider mobility augmentation.  

This is the HULC!
