excerpt

You're not going to be able to pick one up off the rack at Macy's and head out to fight the Mandarin in it, but Iron Man-style wearable robot suits are coming.

Korean car company Hyundai this week showed off photos of a dark blue robotic exoskeleton. No date was given for the suit's release, and in fact, Hyundai didn't provide much information at all. The suit is only a prototype, but the photos and projected uses are pretty cool.

The company said the suit could help factory workers carry heavy items, help soldiers move quickly in their full gear, and may assist people with disabilities to become more mobile. One photo shows a man wearing a partial suit that helps him move his legs up a flight of stairs.
