Sure this can do wonderous things, such as helping old grannies and aiding the army (more than likely) but seriously, I want one just to run around in.

Wonder if it will make you jump higher?

    Power armor, here we come! I know <b>none</b> of you saw that coming from me. Still, it'd be cool to actually see practical power armor in use in armies by the time I die. Then again, once it's real in life, it won't be as cool in games and stuff anymore. :\

    500 years in the future doctors would most likely repair a disabled persons brain and daft looking bioic suits like that won't be needed.

    I'm pretty sure Denmark isn't excluded from the rest of the world. I think his point is artificial super-intelligence nonetheless.


    Anyway, there's no way that battery is going to be able to supply enough power for enough time. Maybe enough for a small presentation, but I can't imagine this working without highly efficient energy for a whole day, the minimum for something that you would use every day.

    Or the police if they get issued those. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    It would have to be proportional to its dildo nose support. If not, firmware upgrades are inevitable.

    Hahahah, pretty good.

    I heard about this a while ago, looks heavy... meaning it's expensive.

    HAL 3 weighs 22 kilograms
    HAL 4 will weigh 17 kilograms, and he hopes HAL 5 may be lighter still.

    The first commercial suits are likely to cost between 1.5 and 2 million yen ($14,000 to $19,000)
