Robotic Exoskeleton Available for Rental
     

HAL
(Hybrid Assistive Limb) has been released
for rental in Japan for $2,200 a month. This system, which assists
those temporarily or permanently disabled people to walk upright without
crutches, has progressed a lot over the years. The robotic legs
listens to nerve signals from the brain and mimics the intended
movements. CYBERDYNE, a new
company formed to mass-produce these robotic legs, insists
that their robot will only be used to help people and have refused all
military-related offers for their product.

Interesting but wonder how long it will last before they crumble to military might.
