Cyborg suit multiplies human strength

The latest robot science ingenuity from Japan is a cyborg suit designed to help weak people move like they are strong.

The Six-Million-Dollar Man-On-The-Outside suit is called HAL (nothing to do with the HAL 9000 of Space Odyssey movie fame) for "Hybrid Assistive Limb" and it's the product of Cyberdyne Corp.

The company created the cyborg suit to "upgrade the existing physical capabilities of the human body," and give those with weak limbs or limited physical range the walking and motion abilities of an able-bodied person.
