"In my role as Commander of the TALOS Task Force, I had the opportunity to work with many different parties on the development of military-specific exoskeletons," said COL Miller. "I believe that Sarcos' full-body, powered exoskeleton is uniquely positioned to benefit both the U.S. military and industry. I look forward to helping the company expand its relationships within the military community, as well as continue to develop products that will play a meaningful role in the force of the future."
