Cyberdyne HAL

(Gadgets(38)
Fri 2008/04/25 18:59
Unlike the XOS, the Cyberdyne HAL exoskeleton lasts 2 hours 40 mins without being attached to a huge cord, weighs only 23kg and will be available for purchase this October and cost about 500,000 yen.
The main purpose of the suit is for rehabilitation purposes.
Hmmm, thats about the same price as a Candy Girl - which would you rather have?
Via Response and Sankei.

Oh wow, I thought it was a suit from the movie Casshern for a second there. But that's one amazing suit, and cool looking too.

Isn't Cyberdyne the company which made... the Terminator from "The Terminator" movies?? Yeah its an incredible invention, guess this qualifies as a mobile suit right? (how gundams originated)...

im happy, gits is finally coming true. hopefully there will be a time to create neural uplinks and eventually make it so humans can last even longer than expected. 100 years is nothing compared to 10000 years.  

it may not makes us immortal, but it will allows to live alot longer im all for it.

You'd think a robotics company would know better than to name themselves Cyberdyne, what with the Terminator and Skynet and the destruction of human civilization and all that.

Time to save up that 500,000 yen, so I could reverse engineer the product and see what applications I can use to assist in building a Mobile Suit. Or I could just go and steal the data information hehe.

Hmm.... Candy Girl will attract unwanted attention in my house, with parents being here orz
On the other hand, it would be quite cool to walk in that whithout expanding any energy... But it will ultimately make us lazy beings if we become too dependent on it ^_^

With my right leg/side getting progressively worse as the years go by, 120mm mortar incident 10 years ago, and my left leg starting to go, I will probably be in a wheel chair in the next ten.
And given the choice of a wheel chair or combination of the Cyberdyne suit with a Segways knack for balance, it's not hard to see where I'll be heading.
Anyway, I don't need a Candy Girl. I have my own Asian Babe.
