Harvard working on an Iron Man-like smart suit
-
Harvard University scientists are working on an Iron Man-like smart suit that could improve soldiers' endurance in war zones. The university received a $2.6 million research grant for the project from DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency), the research arm of the U.S. Department of Defense. The suit, which is expected to include sensors and its own energy source, will be designed to delay the onset of fatigue, enabling soldiers to travel further in the field, while also supporting the body and protecting it from injuries when the soldier is carrying heavy loads.
I will be like Iron-Man in near Future, but on the other hand they call me Super-Ingo, yet ;)

Sounds like a rather ambitious project for only a couple of million. Here is stuff from other sites: http://www.gizmag.com/go/3062/[^] and more interesting: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_suit[^]
