We’ll probably see a real Iron Man in a couple more decades. Or not…I’d like to see the technology become available for old people though.

I actually had my arm in the GE Hardiman exoskeleton and exercised it. The technician turned on the hydraulic power and I picked up a wood pencil. I could clearly feel it but when I squeezed gently, I pinched the pencil in half. The Hardiman was to have all movements with 10X force. The force-feedback laboratory built some fabulous machines, all featuring “man-in-the-loop” philosophy. This technology found its most noticeable application in the Space Shuttle’s Robot Manipulator Arm, which features total force-feedback. 1970s technology was FUN.

How to make an Iron Man suit.
1. Get a Sarcos and HAL 5
2. Get that Bear suit or the Trojan.

Combine it!

Get strength to carry heavy weapons and be almost impenetrable, the equivalent to Iron Man Mark 1 Suit. I get the feeling Raytheons Already thought of that.

I cannot believe nobody’s made the cargo loader suits from “Aliens” into reality (or did you just not deem them worthy of mention here?). I always thought those suckers looked like they could be extremely useful in certain situations.

I’ve never really thought out just what those situations might be, though – probably not that cost-effective now that I think about it…
