Taking Iron man seriously

Sunday, May 18th, 2008

If you haven’t seen this movie yet, I recommend watching it (especially if you are a Tech geek). 

Sarcos Inc. has taken the concept from Iron Man and run with it, producing a mature exoskeleton design that may just possibly lead to the first real life “Iron Man” suit.  Sarcos comes from a decidedly non-militaristic background of designing robots for “Jurassic Park” rides at the Universal Studios theme park.  However, the contractor quickly morphed into a military contractor embarking on an exciting new project — the Sarcos Suit.
