The same engineering that you apply to make a human being stronger mechanically by means of a robotic exo-frame, you can use to remove the human being entirely. Granted, there will be added initial and transition expenses going this route, but once successful, you recoup your investment by eliminating the various temporal costs that had previously come with employing a human being.

Fair tradeoff in some situations. Is a forklift "worthless" because it's slower than a person? They say right in the video they're developing it for logistics, not combat.

Faggots I lugged two 5 gallon water jugs up a mountain in Korea without a robot suit. Although it is badass and I do wish I had one.
