US Army Develops Robotic Suits
[] []

==== In Utah, the army is now developing a light-weight aluminum exoskeleton, called XOS. Rex Jameson is the software engineer who is testing the suit. The XOS suit is almost like a shadow or a second skin. It is designed for agility that can match humans, but with strength and endurance much greater than a human’s abilities. The XOS senses every move that the human inside it makes, and instantly moves with him. For the army the XOS could be very useful, because at least for now they can be used as laborers. The army hopes that later models can go into combats. There are still some problems to solve, but the US military expects that within 8 years this robot will be finished. ====

PROS

 * Strength for the army
 * Quicker supply lines for the army
 * Fewer injuries
 * Soldiers have an easier time when lifting heavy weights
 * Could go into combat carrying heavier weapons or colleagues
 * Light
 * Great strength and endurance

CONS


 * Doesn’t have a mobile power supply that can last an effective length of time
 * Later models might be very destructive
 * Has to be fully powered up to work well
 * Slow

Personal opinion
====In my own opinion, the robots can be very dangerous to humanity because when it will be developed, it will be a terrible weapon. Of course, it is very helpful to soldiers, but if other countries continue to devolop those robots, then there would be, in a sense, robots fighting instead of humans (with humans inside). Then, humans would develop stronger weapons to fight robots. In the end, robots would be very destructive.====
