The Lockheed Martin Human Universal Load Carrier (HULC) is a completely un-tethered, hydraulic-powered anthropomorphic titanium exoskeleton that provides the ability to carry loads of up to 200 pounds for extended periods of time and over all terrains. With a HULC exoskeleton, these loads are transferred to the ground through powered titanium legs without loss of mobility. Its flexible design allows for deep squats, crawls, and upper-body lifting. The exoskeleton senses what users want to do and where they want to go. It augments their ability, strength and endurance. An onboard micro-computer ensures the exoskeleton moves in concert with the individual. Its modularity allows for major components to be swapped out in the field. Additionally, its unique power-saving design allows the user to operate on battery power for extended missions. The HULC's load-carrying ability works even when power is not available.http://www.lockheedmartin.com/how/stories/hulc_player.html
