And now, a robot power suit

I’ve waited years for something like this to happen. Finally a lab in Japan has managed to develop a robot suit. The suit will augment your own strength to help you lift heavy loads. It weighs about 15kg, and detects muscle movement through the flow of electrical signals over the skin, then amplifies the signal and moves with you. Now the lab needs to be myseriously burnt down, but not before a prototype gets out into the hands of an unsuspecting Japanese schoolboy.

Sorry. I’ve been watching Guyver again.
