kinda funky

Seem to be alot of things like this being invented now.

Was watching TV last night (The Gadget Show, UK) and they were showing an exo-skeleton which was simple like the one above, but provided extra power to both legs and allowed the user to carry around 100Kg on their back without any effort at all!

Very funky indeed!

hey it wouldn't be 2008 if we weren't trying to think of ways to be more lazy haha

it is a really good idea for disabled people to feel a bit more "Normal" and be able to walk around.


does the video have sound for anyone? it is annoying with a silent bad quality video, looks like it was shot in the 50's or something
