We were sold on (and slightly terrified of) the Sarcos XOS exoskeleton from the moment we first saw it show off its superhuman capabilities on video late last year, but if you just can’t get enough of it you’ll definitely want to hit up the ever-dependable Popular Science, which has now totally blown things out with the full story behind the suit, complete with some great new pics of it. As if that wasn’t enough, the piece also includes some tidbits about some of Sarcos’ future plans, including word that the Army plans to begin field-testing the XOS by 2009, and that the company intends to kick off a new research program this summer tasked with developing a new generator that’ll be capable of powering the suit for “hours at a time.” Of course, there’s plenty more in the six-page feature that we’re unable to sum up here, so be sure to hit up the link below for the full story.
