KEY POINTS:
Steve Austin showed a highly-impressed world just what could be achieved with a few robotic add-ons - but now the US military is showing off soldier-enhancing technology for real.
A combination of advanced engineering and computing techniques has created robotic exoskeletons - suits that soldiers put on in order to perform various tasks with far more power and pace.
There are numerous exoskeletons in development for different military roles.
This video shows how these Arnie-spec soldier suits could soon change the way wars are fought.
