WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — The US military has produced an animated demonstration for a brawny robotic exoskeleton under development, dubbed the Tactical Assault Light Operator Suit (TALOS), according to a recent article in Science magazine.

"Exoskeletons or other types of technologies and materials… they’re not ready for prime time today, but we’re looking at them and I think within ten years things like that are going to be very, very possible on the battlefield," Milley said.

In ancient mythology, Talos was the name of a giant, living bronze statue that protected Crete from pirates by patrolling the island.
