Japanese has led the way in the field of robotics and in keeping with
this tradition has become the first country to begin mass-producing a
robot that will help human beings become more mobile. Meet Robot Suit
HAL (Hybrid Assistive Limb) and shake his hand; that is, if he will let
you.
Almost like those fairy tale boots and magic carpets that transport
the wearer into mystical realms of flying and super powers, this
incredible device supports the limb movements of the wearer, and through
the help of sensors quickly responds to wherever more mobility is
needed.
Robot Suit HAL’s secret powers are derived from a unique method that
senses bioelectric signals sent from the brain, rather by than detecting
muscle movements.
Commercialization of Robot Suit HAL is still in its infancy and there
are some technical problems. Robot Suit HAL remains creepy and weird
however, because its essence translates into a person controlling the
robot by his or her own will even if the user is unable to move!
