They have a video demonstration up. This thing looks pretty cool. I'm sure it could be used for more than just military applications.

Pretty cool, kind of like the technology the Green Goblin was creating in Spidey 1.

Sarcos is based not to far away from where I live.

This cool stuff. The Japanese have been working on this kind of stuff too, and have a suit out, but nothing targeted towards the military (that I'm aware of). The next step is to get rid of those hooks and replace them with functional hands. (or least a claw.)
