Paramount Home Entertainment went behind-the-scenes at the Raytheon Sarcos research facility in Salt Lake City to demonstrate the power of the company's new exoskeleton suit, [B]XOS 2[/B]. Reminiscent of billionaire genius Tony Stark's high-tech robotic suit in [B]Iron Man 2[/B], the XOS 2 is essentially a wearable robot that amplifies its wearer's strength, endurance and agility. The super-human XOS 2 is built from a combination of sensors, actuators and controllers and enables a user to easily carry a man on his back or lift 200 pounds several hundred times without tiring. XOS 2 is also agile enough to let its wearer kick a soccer ball, punch a speed bag, or climb stairs and ramps with ease. Designed to assist deployed soldiers, the XOS 2 could be in the field in as little as five years.

Check out the XOS 2 in action below, a featurette that can be found on the [B]Iron Man 2 DVD/Blu-ray Combo[/B] hitting retail today...
