Named as one of Time magazine’s “50 Best Inventions of 2010,” the Raytheon Sarcos XOS 2 Exoskeleton is a wearable robotics suit built from a combination of structures, sensors, actuators and controllers, and powered by high pressure hydraulics.  Designed to help with the many logistics challenges faced by the military, it enables a soldier to endure heavy repetitive lifting at a much quicker pace, with one operator in the exoskeleton suit doing the work of two or three soldiers.
