scrambler Posted September 24, 2003 Posted September 24, 2003 The doc had some bad news during the followup on my broken ankle. I might not be able to climb (or run) again. But, it's a beautiful day and I think I've found a solution: ROBO EXOSKELETON!!!! Sure, it's dorky looking but, hey, I'm a dork anyway. Newsclip----A consortium of 30 Japanese companies are planning on working together (yeah, like that ever happens) to produce a robot exoskeleton that can be worn by the infirm, elderly or handicapped people. A prototype of HAL-3 (Hybrid Assistive Legs) has been developed by Yoshiyuki Sankai, professor and engineer at Tsukuba University. Developers hope that by the time these devices come to market, they will be "thin enough to be worn like underwear and will allow users to run and move...freely." --borrowed from street tech Quote
