content: DARPA has been interested in this tech for a while now, or at least a version of it.  http://www.forbes.com/sites/bruceupbin/2014/10/29/first-look-at-a-darpa-funded-exoskeleton-for-super-soldiers/ It's a cool idea, and how it might relate to people with disabilities in the future is something I'm interested in. A medical exoskeleton could become the wheelchair of the future for people unable to carry their own weight, and if you tie that into the prosthetic research already underway allowing people to move robotic limbs with their thoughts http://www.cbsnews.com/news/bionic-deka-arm-mind-controlled-prosthetic-approved-by-fda/ there are some interesting directions this research could go once they work the bugs out.
