Exoskeletons best invention I've seen in a while. I just read this article about exoskeletons. A video of it working can be found here:

I must say I quite like them, however I think it would get quite dangerous on the streets if it gets commonly available to the normal person. But I still want one.

Would be good if they could develop a practical use for the military that doesn't hinder movement too much.

That's pretty cool and it only weighs 150 pounds apparently. I looked for some information on how much power it requires but couldn't find anything. "50% less" isn't very helpful.

I can't imagine them being available to "normal" people for at least a few decades. Batteries that just power a laptop are pretty expensive, imagine how much battery power would you need for one of these
