Epic Invention : Rex, the Robotic Exoskeleton

Invented and made in New Zealand by Rex Bionics. Unfortunately, it has not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for commercial distribution in the U.S. yet. Just think of possibilities with all the disabled war veterans we have had coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan

pretty cool. reminds me of that military exo suit that was being worked on. i think that one was limited because of power supply though. they had power cables connected to it on the video i watched.



looks like they have a xos 2 now

Nice ....I think the keyword on its practicality is, "Non-tethered version". I am sure once that's figured out, they will quickly shift the focus to its use in the battle field. After all, this is Raytheon we are talking about
