H.A.L(hybrid assistive limb)

Interesting article found:http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27066773/wid/11915829/

What is it about:
H.A.L or hybrid assistive limb. Its a robotic suit that helps paralyzed people or old people that have trouble walking. It will be released this Friday(10/10/08). The robot suite is created by Hyperdyne a Japanese company. Yoshiyuki Sankai invented H.A.L. At the moment it will only be rented, the company did not say what the cost was. The suit is available in three sizes: small, medium, and large.

My Opinion
:This is really good. People should invent more things like this instead of coming up with weird thing like color changing orb dresses which really don't help the human society. This how ever will help alot, now people don't have to be pushed around in wheel chairs or be assisted everywhere, the can do thing themselves. The invention is really helpful.
