Commercial Exoskeletons

Posted by Zonk on from the whirrr-stomp-whirrr-stomp dept.

FalconZero writes "For those of you with superhuman aspirations, your dream may be a step closer; New Scientist (recently) and the Japan Times (last year) covered Yoshiyuki Sankai's work at the University of Tsukuba in Japan developing powered exoskeletons with commercial versions expected soon costing between $14,000 and $19,000 (£7,500-£10,000). Other work with exoskeletons previously covered here(1), here(2) and here(3)."

    Jesus christ! Stop fucking posting. Put it all in one post! I know you're doing this just to get people to participate it the stupid, god damn "free offers" in your "sig", which isn't really a sig because it's too long and I have sigs off. You just paste it there so even people like me can see your trash. Fucking stop it. Now.

    And please don't mod me down. I know I'm offtopic (though the topic is cool) and I turned off karma bonus off but I feel like posting anonymously would take away from what I'm trying to say here. Which would be fuck the parent posted for being a lamer. Fuck him in his stupid lamer asshole, where he no doubt stores hundreds of "free", lame gaming consoles.
