HAL-5 Robotic Suit
Posted by RONIN/SS | Filed under Science & Technology
The HAL-5 robotic suit, designed by Yoshiyuki Sankai, is ready for mass production and will be available for rental in Japan for $2,200. The suit is designed to help the handicapp overcome disabilities. I want one so I can super uppercut my hot shot Karate Instructor friend.

The world will be grateful if they continue to make this suit thinner and even more human. Oh, my wish is that one day HAL might be worn almost invisibly, like a thick ribbon running alongside the legs, a galloon in other words, like tailors used to sew onto gala suits!
