Boston Dynamics wearable robot features arms with 24 degrees of freedom. These robotic arms can effortlessly lift up to 200 pounds. With their assistance, a single person is capable of transporting a missile!

The stretchy rubber band elbow bench pressers are gonna love this.

Wait, who says 200 pounds is a 3-person task? They must live somewhere with labour laws and worker protections, but I had just automatically assumed this was the USA.

Great idea, but this is ridiculously silly for a missile. There are too many safety rules in place to allow only one person to mount munitions.

Looks like he’s getting fucked up the ass by a robot. They should lean into that and make it play hard house while it gyrates.

Damn, finally. Hate having to call a friend when doing ordnance swaps.

Great! Let’s invent yet another way to assist ourselves in killing other people.
Thanks Boston Dynamics 👍

damnit. When my parents were old and frail they could have used exoskeleton tech to exercise and live longer. Instead we’re actively promoting this texh to lift missile. Damnit

New record for shortest time between “with this technology, disabilities are a thing of the past!” And “let’s use it to murder civilians”

All I’m seeing is a LEGO minifigure with those hands.

Why is it always a missile and never a 6’2 goth muscle mommy smh

I remember back on the day, being high and playing HALO thinking “it would be scary as hell if a 7 ft super soldier in a robot suit breaks down my door”.

Allows one person to move 3x as slow as everyone else.

pretty soon the missiles will be getting attached to the frame of the wearable robots.

>24 degrees of freedom
I’m a bit dumb, am I getting this right: the movement is 24 degrees? Sorry, this is the first time hearing “xx degrees of freedom”
“I don’t know. What can you do?” “Well im fully qualified on that load lifter …” “Where do you want it?”

I always find these suits kinda terrifying. I just remember that one scene in Iron Man where they’re testing prototypes, and the test pilot snaps their spine.
Like, there are probably dousins of redundancies and safety locks that would prevent something bad happening, but this is still heavy machinery directly linked to human limbs.
I think i’d rather be forklift certified if i’m honest.

You could use this outfit to demonstrate dozens of things.
Helping with rescues, helping with traffic accidents, civil construction, humanitarian aid…
But they demonstrate by raising… A missile

200 pounds? That’s nearly 100 kilos, that’s actually crazy high for something like this. I’ve seen some neat gadgets that do like 20-50 pounds, but 200? Wtf we are getting into low tier power armor territory with the lifting bonus here

Can you guys not curl 200lbs?

Thank God! My back is killing me from all these missiles I’m constantly moving around in my SHED(Safe Housing for Explosive Devices)…

Of all the things to lift, they pick a missile.
Well I know the target audience

Close, but not Boston Dynamics. That’s the prototype fully body exoskeleton from a company named Sarcos (was Raytheon, then divested back to Sarcos), and it’s the predecessor to their [Guardian XO](https://exoskeletonreport.com/2019/12/guardian-xo-alpha-up-close-and-personal-with-the-sarcos-robotics-full-body-powered-exoskeleton/). Sarcos has since dropped their robotics work to become yet another AI company, now named Palladyne.
Get away from her you bitch!
