Soldiers may someday wear robotic suits which multiply human strength and endurance as many as 20 times. The Army has signed a $10 million contract with robotic firm Sarcos Inc. and plans field tests next year. At the moment, the main problem seems to be battery life (30 minutes).

In a recent demonstration, the suit appeared to slow down the wearer's movements, but did not significantly affect agility. According to software engineer Rex Jameson, "it takes no special training, beyond learning to relax and trust the robot."
