The person wearing it would be in the torso and legs, wearing a VR headset linked to "eye" cameras, and using controllers inside to operate the arms. Or those and the jaw linked to the canned spiel.

Bi-pedal robotic technology can far exceed what that robot or man in a costume was doing!! True Bi-pedal run at full sprint, jump, roll & immediately recover, get back up & take off running again if knocked down. All that would be needed is to add the existing battle tested technology that would give it & its fellow soldiers the abilities to network, communicate, track targets(Hunt) & weapon systems...Not to mention, air support from a squadron of drones!

YIKES!!!
