Same here, saw on James May's tv show.

That video is superb though, just shows how close some serious technology is.

I just had a day dream of 1000 years time when humans have a skinny alien type physique inside a super advanced 'exoskeleton' that does all the work for you, imagine that.

If you have ever read Starship Troopers the book the suits the Marines wear are essentially that exoskeleton. It's taken about forty years for fact to catch up with fiction...

Brilliant.
