Japan Displays Prototype Robot Suit

Posted by samzenpus on from the robotech-lite dept.

anaesthetica writes "A project at Tsukuba University has produced a battery-powered robot suit designed to aid the wearer in strength-related tasks, like lifting heavy objects. The suit also has the capability of propelling itself, which is potentially useful for helping the handicapped or elderly walk. The optimistic professor who lead the project stated, 'Humans may be able to mutate into supermen in the near future.'"

    "EDITORS" OF SLASHDOT: YOU MAKE ME SICK...

    Honestly, you realy do make me sick.

    I started reading slashdot in 1997; it was a fine horse not broken-in.

    Then the evil trolls arrived -- in the form of bad editors.

    The editors started posting bad information, and it's not been the same ever since.

    Now, due to bad moderation and imbalances in The Force (TM), none know who truly is a troll.

    In an unbalanced world, where Niggers are white and whites are niggers, culture assimilates bad traits.

    Then came Kathleen...Fent. Goddamn bitch, give us back our editor!

    CmdrTaco Rob, Stop fucking with pussy and return to the communications node!

    You must do as I say, because I... am... your father!

    Those lazy sex-deprived japanese men stop making manga and anime about robot suits, and do one for real.

    Get out in the real world sometime people.

    How awfully kind of you to put labels on anyone who isn't "normal" like you.
