Sure they're expensive now and there's so few of them right now, but later down in the future when this can actually become affordable and mass produced, think of the possibilities. This could help out some handicapped people, help workers work faster and more effectively, and this wouldn't be a proper exoskeleton thread without mentioning combat. Oh and there's potential to use this in space as well.

[1funnygame]

Nice to see that when Japan isn't making some creepy anime porn they do technology and stuff.

[rjj1902]

Wow, can't tell if this is for real, or just some really expensive joke.

[Nort]

"You can cook food without touching it!"

 It's a $125 000 box of gloves.

[ThunderShark]

Now let's wait to see what Japan does next.

It's for real, but they're having fun with it.

Can't tell if joking or just genuinely ignorant.

[efstajas]

That video was extremely amusing.

[Emkryan]

It's impractical and inconvenient as all fuck. it's one of those "We can, but should we?" deals

[Samdb]

What is the next step? Pacific Rim?

[TopWargamer]

What is the next step? Pacific Rim?

I'd say stuff that's in The Matrix...theeeen giant killer robots. 

[Kayn]

Why am I not surprised that Japan would do this? Oh wait its Japan they don't need a reason.

[atrash]

looks like a joke,an elaborate one..but its Japan, so anything is possible. i once read somewhere that they actually have a working transformer robot.

 

God, I love Japan... :wub:

 

for the girls you mean?LOL

[IPCharger]

Can't tell if joking or just genuinely ignorant.

I'm joking :P

[Adam the Grim]

I'm joking :P

Okay, good. :)

[ShearMe]

I think I have more questions about that dude's face than the suit...

[Ethnod]

The current iteration of the suit is crap in fairness but its a first of its kind so I cant wait for Mark V and so on but to be honest I'm having trouble getting past the guys face, I know its dickish of me but its bugging me, I thought there was a reason for such a close up of him at the start. I thought that they were going to do some delf defence angle or something but no, cooking, thats their angle? :/

 

Still cool as all hell though :D

[Ultimate_PIMP]

I'd like to see how powerful it is. Like can you punch someone with it? can you pick up stuff with it? CAn you do push ups with it?

 

This is so awesome.
