The piece looks at Carlos Owens' 18-foot tall in Alaska. Berkeley Lower Extremities Exoskeleton, or BLEEX. Owens comments on DARPA's human exo skeleton, BLEEX. "If I had $50 million, I could do something a lot better than some overrated servo legs," he says. The folks at DARPA know of Owens, too. "We' fve gotten a few calls about it," says John Main, the scientist in charge of exoskeletons there. He forwarded questions to DARPA public affairs. |
