''ExoHiker'' was designed to help hikers carry heavy loads on their back, up to 150 pounds, over extended periods of time. Its design was completed by February 2005. The battery powered skeletal system is controlled with a handheld LCD display. It can be strapped on to the body of hiker between 5&nbsp;ft 4in and 6&nbsp;ft 2in in height, like a wearable robot. The skeleton is easy to put on and take off. Altogether, the ''ExoHiker'' weighs 31 pounds, and is virtually noiseless. It can operate at an average speed of 2.5&nbsp;mph for 42 miles with just one 80 Watt-hour lithium polymer battery weighing 1.2 pounds. With a small solar panel, its "mission time" can be unlimited.<ref>[http://bleex.me.berkeley.edu/research/exoskeleton/exohiker/ ''ExoHiker''] Berkeley Robotics and Human Engineering Laboratory.
