Looks like it's time to fight some Kaiju. Skeletonics, a start up company stationed in Japan, has just unveiled a new exoskeleton that humans can walk into and operate. Composed of aluminum and mechanical springs, it allows the person a "robotic suit" in which they can move around in. The two inventors of the suit have stated that this is only for entertainment and recreational use, such as shadowboxing, but it does beg the question: if combined with computer tech, hydrolics, etc...could it be used as a deadly force?

However, in achieving these feats, numerous variables and hurdles need to be overcome, the biggest being if the exoskeleton can acutely respond to the user in a tangible and fast fashion. As bionics expert Thomas Sugar of the University of Arizona pointed out, ""If you look at some of the devices out there, they're actually quite hard to walk in...you've got to make sure they really enhance people's abilities." Thus, it would only end up becoming a hindrance of your movement is slower than without the exoskeleton. Another issue that seems to be prominent is finding the right energy source to fuel themotorized joints that operate the suits. Without an effective battery, the suit itself won't operate, and the batteries used now either don't work as wishfully effective or they run out of juice too quickly.
