HAL cyberdyne exoskeleton is much better for that purpose

It would be a boon to so many with back problems. Might give relief to those with compromised discs and bad knees. Could extend market into the medical professions. Just an old man’s opinion.

The arms are what’s important: http://pinktentacle.com/2009/09/power-loader-exoskeleton-suit/
If they would use tracks or wheels as the base and the arms as manipulators it could be cheaper, more effective and could be used now and without years of research (small example http://blogbrickblog.blogspot.com/2008/09/lego-moc-heavy-power-loader-ymir.html)
