Were working on it:
BLEEX Project
The current powered exos in the lab weigh about 100 lb apiece and can carry a
payload of over 70 lbs, but mobility is still rather limited.

I think I saw that briefly on Scientific American Frontiers a while back.
Still, even if you were wearing full combat body armor with that strapped on
top, all it would take was one shot to the battery to render it useless (and if
theyre able to shoot the battery, youre pretty much screwed if you cant pop
those legs loose in a matter of seconds. I got the impression that it was
designed more for load-lifting capabilities than as a true power armor (i.e.
weaponized exoskeleton), though the control system is certainly a much-needed
stepping stone for any eventual power armor.
