injured soldier doesn't have to be carried reducing danger to other soldiers it's a very neat prototype but it's one that's currently cost two million dollars to build man i dread to think how much the finished version will eventually cost human NUMBER_TOKEN a lot of us would give just about anything to own an ironman suit while we're light years away from anything as technologically sophisticated as that the military does have access to the next best thing this is the guardian xo a full-body battery-powered exoskeleton which augments the operator's strength with a maximum payload of NUMBER_TOKEN pounds an operator wearing this incredibly cool power suit can lift NUMBER_TOKEN pounds with a single hand this kind of power assist can help ensure soldiers aren't injured doing mundane tasks and can save their strength for duties that really matter but while the guardian xo looks pretty snazzy it wasn't always this sleek sarcos the company behind guardian xo worked under defense contractor raytheon over NUMBER_TOKEN years ago producing the xos exoskeleton suit like the guardian this early suit also augmented the wearer's lift capacity to lift up to NUMBER_TOKEN pounds and could even punch through three inches of wood it achieved this by using an array of sensors to collect data through the exoskeleton the sensors fed data into a computer which determined how the suit should move then those instructions were sent to a series of valves that controlled the flow of hydraulic fluid in the joints the fluid moved a series of cylinder actuators which then moved cables attached to them like tendons pulling on the robotic limbs the main drawback was that it needed to be attached to a main power source in order to work so it had limited applications in busy environments still being able to do endless push-ups with this thing on has to count for something right before i go i want to say thank you to our sponsor conflict of nations for making this video possible if you want to help support the channel be sure to hit the link in the description below to download this insanely fun pvp military strategy game and you only have NUMBER_TOKEN days to claim your unique starter pack gift so don't miss out which of these military technologies and vehicles do you think is the most amazing let me know down in the comments thanks for watching
