This year, the technology world exploded with new wearable devices. From smart watches to Google Glass, and now even smart contact lenses. The question is: what will these devices mean for us in the future? The answer: More intelligent systems, the ability to perform tasks better, and most excitingly, artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n

That all sounds great, but the question people across the world are asking themselves is: \u201cHow close are we to a real Iron Man suit?\u201dThe truth is, walking around in super-strong suits may not be that far away.<\/p>\n

Realistically , We haven\u2019t quite cracked the secrets behind Iron Man\u2019s suit, But we\u2019ve got some of the specs down. \u00a0for example: a panoplied suit\u00a0with high-tech weapons and the ability to to augment human strength? It looks like we are in a good position to build that one. In fact, the US military\u00a0has been working on \u201cexoskeleton\u201d suits to help soldiers do more in combat. The suits enhance strength and increase protection for a soldier. While repulsor beams, flight arc reactors, and internal power generation units are a long way away, the armored suit is something different entirely.<\/p>\n

A while back a report stated that the \u201cfirst Linux-powered Iron Man suits may soon be within the reach of homebrew builders\u201d, it was fascinating. Why Linux? Why open source?<\/em><\/p>\n

Well, the biggest technology problem facing a project like this is artificial intelligence<\/strong><\/a> (AI) technology to the like of Stark’s Just A Rather Very Intelligent System (JARVIS), which is required to run such suits.<\/p>\n

But the way open source<\/a> is leading innovation through collaboration, we can expect the pace and volume of AI improvement and creation to increase. Maybe it would be a hasty generalization to say that open source will help build a superhero suit, but the community has indicated that they’re up to any challenge, and we soon expect to see the first Linux-enabled Iron Penguin kits. So if anyone were to be able to pull this off, it would be these open source developers.<\/p>\n

As the world begins adjusting to new realities, the desire for more innovation could drive technology breakthroughs necessary to replicate \u00a0iron man technology. With the vitality of the open source community that drives innovation faster, it won\u2019t be wrong to look forward for intelligent and wearable body exoskeleton in the near future. What do you think?<\/p>\n
