For those who always wanted the strength of the Hulk, this may be your lucky day because of the Power Loader Exoskeleton. A Japanese company called Activeink (which is a Panasonic subsidiary) has created the Power Loader Exoskeleton to emulate the Power Loader suit from 'Aliens.'
Utilizing 18 electromagnetic motors, the Power Loader Exoskeleton allows users to lift 220 pounds. Unfortunately it weighs 500 pounds, and is a bit slow on its hydraulic feet, but I’m sure a better version could derive from this existing one someday.
