Cyberdyne Develops HAL. Skynet On The Way.

HAL

The man-machine interface is now. First Honda developed their Walking Assist Device. Then ReWalk developed its mobility assistance device. Now, Angry Zen Minion Devin Wolfe writes in with news that a Japanese technology company called Cyberdyne (geez, Skynet isn’t even trying to hide it anymore) has manufactured the Hybrid Assistive Limb or HAL.

HAL uses brain waves to calculate how much assistance to provide for a given movement. The leg unit weighs 22lbs which is supported by the exoskeleton itself. A single battery charge lasts five hours. You can rent HAL for two legs at $2,200 a month or for one leg at $1,500. HAL is only available in Japan for the moment.

This is certainly good news for the elderly who could use an extra boost to get around. And it’s also good news for the rest of us when it comes time to arm ourselves against the Skynet’s robot hoards of doom. How ironic that Skynet has developed the very system that will help defend humanity against its robot doom bringers! Cyberdyne’s HAL brings us one step closer to true Rider Systems! RIDER KICK!

    I’m thinking more of a mjolnir armor from Halo. I can see this getting a shit load of cash from the military for an “infantry assistance suit” to be developed at a more affordable cost and with good old fashioned plate armor on top of it. Maybe not tank flipping level of strength but simply gear weight compensation. Probably ditch the glowing lights to.

    Great how the control unit’s on the back, isn’t it. “Can’t let you do that, Dave.”

    Not brainwaves, Sir, but the suit utilizes bio-electric sensors that detect weak eletrical impulses within the muscle underneath the skin which is much more fancy and complex than the crude, simple and purely hydrolics driven suit the US military is developing, called XOS.

    Maybe this will be the future: HAL —> G3X\G4
    XOS —> Mjoulnir
    :P
