Rex Jameson, a 5-foot-11 with 180 pounds software engineer seems just like another "average Joe". When the owner of his free time, they are extreme sports such as bike hiking, swimming, playing tennis and skies will be his favorite time killer events.
Do not be fooled by his appearance, as Jameson was one of the honor of software engineers, who has a contract with the U.S. Army and currently working on a top-secret project.
must be wondering, what is said so "top secret project" thing? Well, Jameson is fully responsible for research, create, produce and "Robotic suit" that will be widely used by U.S. military in the near future.
"Every day, I put on 150 pounds of" exoskeleton "that consists mainly of aluminum and electronics, most people get bored of the specimen, instead of getting tired like me," said Jameson.
is hard to believe but true that Jameson will have to wear the "Robotic suit" and gripped the weight set in the bar, and then need to knock off continuously, sometimes even up to 500 times non-stop knocked off!
, "the main goal for this copy of the sense and record every movement of bears made, which is constant work and can not stop whenever you want." Jameson said.
This suit is called the "Sarcos' suit, and it is estimated that will cost up to $ 10 million for the first phase of development proračuna.US Army felt confident about this Sarcos suit and believes that someday in the future, soldiers may wear and fight in the fence.
Since this project is still at an early stage so that it will focus more on programs such as the repair of heavy equipment, cargo shipping, etc. If the progression of the Sarcos suit is fine, the first initial test will be scheduled to spend next year.
, however, before the technology can be fully commit, developers have to overcome two major problems, the price barrier and extend the lifespan baterije.Baterije question annoyed Jameson, which correspond to the current the battery can only last 30 minutes, which is totally not enough!
"We all love to become a superhero to fulfill his dream of a child, as was recently made his debut film" Iron Man "and now technology makes everything possible," Stephen Jacobsen, chief designer Sarcos suit, he said.
"The future of robot suit will facilitate the work, such as the load of heavy ammunition boxes from helicopters, pulling one hundred pounds of equipment over rough terrain or slope and became master of the increase to a broken sensor in the middle of a war." Jack Obusek, former army colonel now a soldier research development and Engineering Center, said.
In addition, the Sarcos suit is fully launched, it will not only become a "toolbox" suit for the military, but can also be more purpose helper in the commercial field. Even disabled people can also benefit from this technology, as well.
seems to supply photographs biggest obstacle problem to solve, if you want to Sarcos suit stands last longer in the field. However, the developers try to get rid of this problem by reducing design that uses less energy, and users can easily fill it with any kind of energy resources, such as water, solar energy or gasoline (though it will be a little messy to go to the gas gasoline station to fill up ... lol)
"I hope this awesome Sarcos suit will be the realization as soon as possible and when that happens, it will be most useful technology, things in the near future," said Jameson.
