Nice boost in price we saw - hopefully that will continue onto tuesday

Your idea must have some serious merit!!!

Ekso Bionics listed by SOCOM to build robotic exoskeleton for TALOS.
Although old, lets not forget how crucial this is going into the future.

Read this:
Perhaps the ultimate form of wearable armor is the tactical light operator suit, or TALOS. Nicknamed “the Iron Man suit” in reference to the fictional superhero, the aim of TALOS is to make special operators who kick in the door during raids essentially bulletproof. The powered exoskeleton is to be equipped with a communications suite and other enabling technologies.
SOCOM hopes to have a prototype ready by 2018, and officials have said the program is on track.
To push the technology forward, the command is promoting SOFWERX, its new rapid prototyping office. SOFWERX has already been put to use on the TALOS project to develop a base layer.
“Everybody thinks of the Iron Man suit exoskeleton,” said James “Hondo” Geurts, SOCOM’s acquisition executive, at the SOFIC conference. “What most people don’t think about is … what’s between that [metal suit] and human skin?”
Industry partners and different user groups recently teamed up to develop a solution.
“In 60 days we were able to turn full-up designs and prototypes so that we can start figuring out how are we going to solve this for the end suit,” Geurts said.
Wearable technology can help solve situational awareness problems.
Army Gen. Raymond Thomas III, the commander of SOCOM, was inspired by watching the movie “Minority Report” during a deployment to Afghanistan.
“I’m watching Tom Cruise do all his gizmo stuff, understanding everything in the world and I thought, ‘That’s what I want at the touch of a fingertip,’” he said. “I want to be able to bring everything we know … to the appropriate operator level.”
Even better would be a heads-up display system.
At some point “we’re going to interface artificial intelligence with our operators so they are literally hands free,” Thomas said. “At the voice prompt they’re going to be able to say, ‘Siri or Son of Siri or whoever, give me this [situational awareness information].’ And it’s going to drop down to a heads-up display and they’re going to have everything they need because it will all be in some file.”
Down the road, the SOCOM chief wants to integrate voice prompt technology into TALOS, noting that the first iteration of the suit will rely on button-enabled capabilities.
“I’m thinking, ‘OK, I can’t see buttons’” without looking down and taking eyes off the battlefield, he said. “I … want the next best version and so will our operators.”
Thomas’ dream might be on the path to coming true. The Defense Department’s rapid reaction technology office and the Army’s night vision and electronic sensors directorate have collaborated on an emerging capability prototyping project called HD Glass. SOCOM is slated to receive the new heads-up display equipment in September.
“The prevalence of smartphone applications for geolocation and information services has demonstrated how information can be a force multiplier for warfighters,” said an HD Glass project description published by the Defense Department.
But “increased battlefield awareness through smartphones, tablets and laptops comes at a cost of reduced awareness of immediate surroundings,” it said. “Heads-up displays provide an alternative human-technology interface that leverages the full capability of a smartphone, while maintaining ‘eyes out’ tactical awareness.”
Existing heads-up displays designed for aircraft pilots have insufficient field of view and contrast to meet the operational challenges of ground forces, according to the Pentagon’s acquisition office. HD Glass is intended to solve that problem.

This article is listed as being from August 2016, so I guess TALOS really is from the future.

Does anyone else find it ironic that Ekso Bionics is spending money for growth, when they could simply take some profits and their stock would likely soar?
I understand many of the costs are necessary for growth, but there is a big difference between internal growth and external. External growth is convincing the world that Ekso will one day reach them too in one way or another. No one will believe this is a possibility until the company turns a profit or they see a product that applies to their life.
I think TALOS and construction suits will help do this, but they aren't here yet. Ekso needs to do it themselves with more apt advertisement and company image, which they are struggling with in my eyes.
At least I'm now in a position where I can buy more stock if it keeps falling, largely from an increase in income from work.
I'm long EKSO
I would love to see some insider buys; even if it's trivial amounts of stock purchased, it obviously would be a good sign if the CEO or other directors bought stock.

Just opened a position today. I now hold SQ long. Greetings and cheers!
You are correct in the greater context, maybe not about specifics. Exoskeletons becoming efficient will pave the way for correcting the inefficiencies that are currently making autonomous robotics ineffective. Ekso for example might work to equip hydraulics to replace electromotors for example.
There are still bigger problems to be faced for autonomous robots however, which might outweigh this effect. For example, the pathing. Picking where to put your foot on rough terain, or how to respond if a rock under you isn't stable is a large challenge. Exoskeletons will largely continue to have a huge advantage in terms of weight reduction by allocating those tasks to the user.
I may be wrong in either direction - with exoskeletons playing more or less of a role than I'm envisioning.
I think in a decade or two when autonomous robots start working, Ekso will still be around.

I want to see police with TALOS, even though it's designed for SOCOM. They need the added protection.
Don't commit crimes, otherwise IronMan will come arrest you. Can you imagine?
I'm not for a police state, but there are times when one of these suits would be useful. At least then police wouldn't feel so threatened.
I understand this is probably not going to happen extremely soon.

Is EKSO expanding efforts abroad? New youtube videos:
Distributor*
"This video shows the Ekso Bionics XA-r Exoskeletal arm support being used during a grinding application. "
notice it also says under Sigma Ergonomics, "Proudly the Australian, New Zealand and South East Asian Dsitributor for Ekso Bionics Inc"
One of the analysts asked a similar question at an earnings conference, at least with regard to the GT.
If I remember correctly, their production capacity was around 4 GT's per month at the time.
I assume the vest has fewer parts, so I expect that number to be much larger.
Incidentally, EKSO just listed an available job related to your question:

Speaking of Yahoo Finance, we may be getting more followers here.
The comment board on their site was basically ruined in my eyes - not that I followed any of the boards there, as they were generally filled with paid spammers not interacting with anyone.
As to the ARKE - they are the ones working with IBM, but I'm not worried (at least currently) about them in terms of competition as they lack active assist.

The fact it's rising with out news isn't to be feared, the contrary was true for quite some time.

In my experience these articles normally didn't impact the price nearly as much and the price was faster to react. The price would rise the day of the article, but likely start falling the day after.
This is different. I'm guessing it's an institution buying.

If it were TALOS instead of a bomb-disposal robot, perhaps we could have taken that evil Dallas scumbag alive instead of blowing him up so that he could stand for his crimes.
