Exoskeleton
In-game example: MechWarrior. A wearable suit/vehicle, where the person is the central nervous system of a powerful robot.
Another form of augmentation, this time with the new bits bolted on the outside. A soldier wearing a skeleton that takes his movements and... holy shit! Look at the video below! It’s here already, people! Sarcos has made an exo-skeleton with hooks on its arm, for crying out loud. The damn thing enables a man to lift a missile onto a jet, as well as running and other, gentler movements, such as snapping a kitten’s neck. And you know that those terrifying nutjobs that claim they have the right to bear arms will somehow rework the American constitution to cover exoskeletons. And at the end of the video they say it could become autonomous. If you put a flamethrower on this thing you’d technically have a god! Flee, everyone!
Sentry guns
In-game example: Team Fortress 2. A deployable structure that autonomously tracks and shoots at your enemies.
