the ReWalk Medical Powered Exoskeleton
Check out this neat new exoskeleton, developed by Argo Medical Technologies. Here’s the deal:
the ReWalk exoskeleton is a light, wearable brace support suit featuring DC motors at the joints, rechargeable batteries, an array of sensors, and a computer-based control system. Users wear a backpack device and braces on their legs, and select the activity they want from a remote control. A sensor on the chest determines the torso’s angle and guides the legs to move forward or backward to maintain balance.
I know, awesome isn’t it. But what would it be like to wear one?
Well, thanks to Stephen Chow’s latest film CJ7 you can now see. Go about four minutes into this clip for the cool exolskeleton action, or just sit back at watch eight whole minutes of funny!
thanks again to Spiraltwist for the linkage!
This video has been removed by the user. Unfortunately. I always wanted some mecha legs.
oh damn, so it has.
I know an accident victim who would want one. She has not walked in 10 years.
