Worlds first affordable powered exoskeleton is almost here: Prepare for mech wars
2014-01-08 19:33:54| Extremetech
The first affordable, mass-produced robotic exoskeleton will be on sale next year from Panasonic. For 500,000 yen, or slightly under $5,000, this full-body power garment will let you hoist 100kg objects and move at speeds up to 8 km/hr. While this device would make a nice addition to any wardrobe, will it have immediate practical value, or will it mainly be purchased by hobbyists and educators as a base platform for mere experimentation?
