Lease an Exoskeleton in 2008!

Filed under: Rehab

We reported on the Japanese HAL-5 exoskeleton in October as a way to assist disabled peoples in recovering their original strength. The exo-skel could also be used by "normal" people such as doctors and nurses to increase their strength for conquering the earth doing heavy lifting.

Well, seems like some price-points and release dates are floating around. One should be able to lease the HAL-5 in Japan for 70,000 yen ($590) a month starting in 2008.
