Robotic suits
might someday exist, such as we saw in Aliens (the “loader” was a
robotic frame a human could ride in, using the arms to lift heavy
objects while walking around with robotic legs.) Working in harsh
environments, such as in extreme temperatures, radiated environments,
or biologically dangerous situations, would also warrant the use of a
protective suit. Having robotic features, especially to substitute
for the use of one's actual hands, would be ideal in such
environments. Robotic suits in warfare could enable people to jump
higher, run faster, and possibly ignore certain threats. Consider the
robotic suit used in the sci-fi movie, District 9, and the protection
it provided the user, plus the massive firepower and computer
assisted targeting. It isn't much of a stretch to imagine that we
will be seeing robotic suits, possibly for a variety of uses, in the
very near future.
