Even with an exoskeleton, I would not want to carry 200 pounds very far. I but it has a short battery, too. Maybe a couple hours, depending on load.
I saw one of these once that was in development for the Department of Defense. So soldgiers could carry massive loads in very rough terrain (Afgan, etc). At least that is what they claimed. I think Congress authorized it so they could carry around their ego's AND hair care products....

Nah, it's to carry around the incredible load of $#!& they all peddle and the piles of money they get for selling it to us.
GREAT - now we will have to go out and buy $2,500 packs so that 40 lbs feels like 4
