Exoskeletons in the house! Sorry, no mechas (yet)

The “Every Muscle Suit” has a lot going for it. Weighing just 3.8 kilograms (2.2 pounds), the pneumatic artificial muscle suit is powerful enough to generate up to 25.5 kilogram-force and effectively relieves pressure on users’ backs when performing activities like heavy lifting.


And no batteries. That’s right: it uses air pressure only. Sells for the low low price of ¥149,600 (US$1,380)!


Well, OK, it’s not cheap. But compared to the robots used in heavy industries, this one’s close to affordable. And you can even test-run at the Bic Camera store in Shinjuku, Tokyo.


No mention of mounted laser rifles yet, though. Sorry.


Maybe V. 2.1?
