This Is What a Realistic Gundam Suit Will Be Like

Instead of the hulking robot suits you see in Iron Man or Alien, it's more likely that we'll create lightweight suits that bear weight and form artificial muscles for us. This article goes very futurist on you at the end.

The last three articles are there to help you imagine this world: people with lab-grown limbs using exoskeletons in the supermarket, carrying all of their 16 bags of groceries back to the car in one trip. And half of the bags are full of 3d-printed prosthetics. Why? I dunno. I'm sure they have their reasons.
