I wouldn't be surprised if in 10-20 years we saw StarCraft style battle suits on our soldiers, maybe not a bulky closer to the halo / gears of war.

Looks like the loader that Ripley from Aliens may be sooner than we think.
If you give to a charity please think of giving to one of these two charities. The Naval Special Warfare Foundation or Navy SEAL Warrior Fund.

DAMN!!! Damn no more P.T. in our military now huh. Imagine how humans will look in the future when we will be relying on that for our daily lives lol.
I like to run with scissors in my hand.

Its all fine and dandy until the suit looses power or some other failure.

ehh yeah some system malfunction or something in these bots would be bad. I dont think its right to use this for war though.

Well we do need to give the troops as much protection as possible. But I do not think we should ever use robots that think and work without a human user. Machines can have errors that make mistakes that people would not.

as it sits now i dont see those as front line options HOWEVER I do see them as excellent missile loaders, fuel tanks operators. Anything like that where heavy lifting is required. In the civiallian side I see a ton of opportunities once the price goes down a bit. Perhaps in where houses and areas like that.

Bulky now? yes. But this is like baby stages. Like any technology, it will get refined.
