I'm still not sure this isn't a dupe anyway.And besides: Those guys aren't the first ones who tried that sort of thing. But who knows, maybe they are the ones to finally succeed...
They are working on some awesome stuff boys and girls.
Seconded, it'd be for getting work done. I wouldn't play with the thing for days on end at all I swear, certainly wouldn't use it for evil.
looks like it has handles, could monitor input like a joystick, if the handle is moving forward in relation to where the arm is, the Exoskele ups the power on the arm? thats how i'd have done it at least. Next stop exo-squad!
Robocop was a cyborg, not exoskeleton. His missing body parts were replaced by machine parts, including pieces of his brain.
There are no joysticks to control it's movement. You step inside, and it reacts to your movements naturally. Think of it like the accelerator in your car: the harder you press it the faster you go, and you are able to interpolate how hard you should press to maintain a certain speed. This is much more complicated obviously as it's monitoring all your movements and if the measurements are wrong, things can ... go badly... But if done properly, the operator should be able to accurately control how hard he/she wants to grasp, punch, kick, pull, etc very naturally.
RE: Batteries. They already have it working on batteries, and remember the operator won't be the one carrying them around, they will be supported by the exoskeleton. Problem: they only last 15-minutes, and much like our lovely laptops, cellphones and iPods, have been known to be potentially... volatile.
Can i even say that?
