Japan unveils "robot suit" that enhances human power

TOKYO (AFP) - Japan has taken a step into the science-fiction world with the release of a "robot suit" that can help workers lift heavy loads or assist people with disabilities climb stairs.

"Humans may be able to mutate into supermen in the near future," said Yoshiyuki Sankai, professor and engineer at Tsukuba University who led the project.

The 15-kilogram (33-pound) battery-powered suit, code-named HAL-5, detects muscle movements through electrical-signal flows on the skin surface and then amplifies them.

The day that we get powered armor is the day that I sign up to become a full cyborg. Preferably the geisha kind.

The day they get powered armor is the day we see Exo-skeleton weapon systems used in the armed forces and lifting units in place of forklifts for construction and warehouse.

I can see it now, they develop a unit that can lift an A1 Abrams and flip it.
