Human Universal Load Carrier exoskeleton


The Human Universal Load Carrier (HULC) exoskeleton doesn’t have just that awesome anagram for a name, it’s also an escape from all the heavy manual work that we’re condemned to sometimes. The sad part is that those who could really use this would never be able to afford it. Armed with lightweight hydraulics that make up the legs and a powerful titanium structure that can haul up a 200 lb backpack, the HULC is a fine example of our attempts to being superman. The downside is that the battery charge runs out faster if you’re running. However, walking at 4 kmph will keep the battery beating for 5 hours.
