Cyberdyne Inc has developed HAL which stands for Hybrid Assistive Limb.
This is an awesome idea as it is a computerized exoskeleton that senses muscle (electromyographic) signals to direct limb movement to help people with mobility problems.
It is expensive for the moment but is available from Cyberdyne to rent in Japan for $2,200 a month.
For those people with immobility challenges this provides an option for consideration.
Can you image elderly people becoming cool when they use HAL to go shopping!
