Japanese Cybersuit Makes Real Life 'Iron Man'
Japanese Cybersuit Makes Real Life 'Iron Man' - Switched
Quote:
In what seems almost like a modern-day cliché, Japanese scientists have apparently created a real-life robot suit, which is set go into mass production in October. The goal? To give its user super-human strength. Think 'Iron Man,' in real life.
In what would seem like a nod to the nefarious computer in Arthur C. Clarke's Space Odyssey saga, it's being called the HAL suit; here, that's shorthand for Hybrid Assistive Limb. The suit was created by the equally nefarious-sounding Cyberdyne Corporation (cough, 'Terminator,' cough), which says the suit will have a wide range of uses, such as aiding caregivers, helping people with physical disabilities to get around, and assisting users performing jobs that require superhuman physical strength -- like, say, taking over the world and/or giving the good superheroes someone to fight against.
