I didn't expect it to be flexible in the demo's, are we going to see it on the battlefield or construction sites first?

- Cushman 15y agoConstruction sites. It needs external power.
- camtarn 15y agoI can imagine this thing being pretty impressive on a construction site - it could presumably do quite a few things which require a mini excavator today, like using extra-heavy jackhammers or clearing huge pieces of rubble. Having watched a warehouse near my flat being ponderously disassembled by a trio of excavators, I wonder whether using an exoskeleton would allow for greater speed due to a much more direct mapping of tool movement to natural human movements.
- Cushman 15y agoDefinitely. Not just for demo, either— something trivial like sheetrocking a ceiling can be a hassle for a team of guys, never mind about something harder like framing. A team of guys in robosuits could knock it right out.
