HULC exoskeleton system ready for soldier tests

I hope the next step (after simple modification) will be to make these available for the handicapped people
From BBC
The HULC (Human Universal Load Carrier) allows soldiers to carry weights of up to 200lbs (91kg) with little effort and is designed to reduce the strain of carrying heavy equipment.
It works by transferring the load to the ground through the exoskeleton’s titanium legs and uses an onboard computer to sense and mimic the user’s movements.
The battery powered device, which can fit different body sizes, also allow for jumps, squats, crawling and slow-speed running.
