Looks uncomfortable, but if it gets people out of wheelchairs and walking, it’s worth it!

To us able bodied humans, it does seen bulky & cumbersome, but to someone without the ability to stand & look us in the eye, I’m betting it’s a great start! I think it could be a new ‘freedom’, even.
I understand that the military versions give a soldier extra strength for certain jobs, but I don’t think it would be something one would want to strap it on full time! -
Although there is a lot of hype about exoskeletons, it does not make humans super-human. Clumsiness aside, a lot more power and computation is wasted to support a human exoskeleton task than to do a task purely robotically. However, there are indeed some prospects for exoskeletons benefiting the physically-disabled.

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/jurvetson] Hey your pics are really useful and it is nice of you that you’ve released them under CC. I wanted to ask you if the picture in the first comment has CC license? this image is useful on an article on wikipedia. Can I use that?
Kindly,
