We've seen lots of robots, or things that are supposed to be robots but really aren't, and Hajime Research has just released a video of something that qualifies as the former (mostly).

Hauling is not an option, as it decreases mobility.A team at M.I.T. Media Lab's Biomechatronics Group has made an exoskeleton that... |

Japanese researcher Yoshiuki Sankai of the University of Tsukuba has developed a robotic exoskeleton to help the elderly and disabled walk and even lift heavy objects like a jug of water for instance. It's called the Hybrid Assistive Limb, or HAL (like the name of the computer from "2001: A space Odyssey"). Its ... |
