The future is automation. Robotics will make jobs but also destroy jobs so take a look around and enjoy people serving you and that physical contact when you pick up medications because it wont be there for to much longer.

I usually wake up pretty early (around 8am) then make a list of what I need accomplish in that day. From there I execute. I really do a bit of everything, welding, soldering, writing software, messing with 3d printers, 3d design then piecing everything together. Recently this has turned into a business so a lot of fun legal stuff along the way. I also work late into the night!

You always do, but I try and start with 0 external influence so I am able to come up with new and different ideas. Also I'm not trying to copy what's out there, I'm trying to make it better.

The military has been using exoskeleton suits for a while with the goal of super soldiers and elite endurance but they've really worked out. Big, bulky, take tons of power. I believe if we can make more efficient actuators (extreme power in a small device) then I'm sure we can make something 'Iron man' like!

The total cost for all the materials was a little under $400.00
