Giappone: fittasi esoscheletri cyborg

clipped from hplusmagazine.com Cyborg Exoskeletons May Soon Become as Common as Bicycles HAL, an exoskeleton, is a mind-controlled wearable machine that gives humans enhanced mobility. The HAL exoskeleton –- described in a popular article for the first edition of h+ ("I am Ironman!") – helps the wearer to carry out a variety of everyday tasks, including standing up from a chair, walking, climbing up and down stairs, and lifting heavy objects. The suit can operate for almost five hours before it needs recharging. Photo credit: Cyberdyne HAL comes in three sizes -- small, medium and large and weighs in at 23kg (50.7 lbs). A single leg version rents for 150,000 yen ($1,570) a month, while a two-leg unit goes for 220,000 yen ($2,300) a month. Cyberdyne has yet to announce when HAL will go on sale to the public or what the price tag will be.
