Found a nice article this week in the IEEE Spectrum titled The Rise of the Body Bots”, which gives a nice summary and discussion about the current state of wearable exoskeletons. I’ve been tracking the developments of this technology for several years, and am glad to see the second generation of exoskeletons coming out. I can definitely see useful heavy lifting/constructiorun applications resulting from this research in the near future (a la the movie Aliens), but I think it will be a while longer (~20 years or more) until the technology advances sufficiently to be truly useful for military and personal applications.

I have to wonder, though, which will win out in the long run: wearable exoskeletons or integrated bionics?
