Robo-Exoskeleton Can Be Yours Soon!

I thought that the Human Assistive Limb (HAL) would be years away from being released.

Ever destined to remain in a mad-scientists lab until the governement had equipped its armies with the things before being slowly opened-up to the general populous.

It sounds like HAL is going straight to the people that need it first!

HAL can equip its wearer a tenfold strength increase during specific actions.

This would undoubtedly change the lives of people with degenerative muscle diseases or accident victims.

The Human Assistive Limb has a five-hour battery life so, almost a working day, so it would be practical.

I’m guessing that those into more extreme pass-times, factory workers, builders and other heavy industry workers would get use from this – oh and rich kids.

Becoming bionic will cost around $4200 when these things start rolling off the line.

The first run, to be sold in Japan, has a limited edition of 400 units.

I’m hoping that the people with real need get these first and not some rich person wanting to act out Iron Man.
