Just about a year ago Sarcos made a splash with a variety of demos of their prototype Guardian XO. Now the company says the real deal is ready to ship. The gig is: Don the suit and lift 20X your weight. Hoist those flatplanels….no word if you can go up ladders in it.
The company had a pre-release contract from United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM). Now that there is a production model, Sarcos gathered various tech press folks to Salt Lake City to see what was up. Here are some selected examples from what happened:
