Exo-skeletons in use

Maybe not they way Ripley wore her Caterpillar version to fight with Mother Alien...small enough for every day use.

Exo-skeleton

Which tree company will be the first to start using them?

Exo's will turn treeworkers into cranes. They'll have to have controls to prevent moving too large a load. Seeing cranes tip is awful. Seeing an over-ambitious groundie pick up a log on flat ground then move to a hill...changes the physics a lot! How does the load get grounded without crushing groundie?

I started a thread on this before and I think nobody liked it or thought we could use em....I agree I had the same thoughts. Very cool to imagine

I would try one! Hard to imagine something assisting most of the movements in a day of work.

Maybe a jet pack, blaster, light saber, and a graple rope?

I would love to go and see those demonstrated. Within three hours driving distance for me. It appears I would need to be a part of the conference though at about $1000.

Anyone see any free opportunities in the Bay Area, CA?
