Thanks from board for your post, enjoyed the comments from the 'practical-ists'.

The 'robotic arm' could rather easily be designed to be lighter weight. I can think of several improvements that I will not mention.

Just robotic arms are not a good idea in my way of looking at it.
Medically, you are forcing the shoulder and joints area to take the repetitive motion strains. You really need a full robotic suit to accomplish safe and useful activity ranges.
Design teams need medial imput and plain common sense from potential users (not just MBAs). If your going for Sky-Net, don't ask bean-counters how to do it.

Your artl. just reinforces my feelings that the line-and-strike solider of the future will be robotized. EKSO presently offers a very nice solution to this evolution. If Con-gress would get off-and-on, and push through some contracts and quit with the smileys and 1950s attitudes, we might start seeing this stock price rise. We survive together active, or die separately?

Someone in DOD research . . . make a trip to Goggle, etc. and get them to throw some funding. Capitalism needs to step into the new Century and forget off-shoring to crete imaginary cost svings that gut our domestic society.
