It's all clearly labeled, but it's easy to not pay attention. Having said that, the documentation referenced in this screencast can be found here and here.

Elder Scrolls Fans in Robot Research?

October 31, 2013 9:31:04.146

I have to wonder, with the acronym mentioned here:

Recently, the U.S. Special Operations Command issued a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for proposals and research in support of the development of Tactical Assault Light Operator Suit (TALOS)—what the media refers to as the "Iron Man Suit." … Now, where is the BAA that asks for similar research proposals about the psychological aspects of the people actually wearing these proposed suits? In addition to any physical requirements that may be needed for wearing TALOS, what sort of person will be able to effectively use TALOS?
