HAL Exoskeleton With Anti-Radiation Vests

Cyberdyne's exoskeleton HAL was originally designed to assist with walking. They have now displayed a new model that could help nuclear workers weighed down by heavy anti-radiation vests. The Radiation shielding vests are made from tungsten and are extremely heavy at around 60kgs. Because the HAL exoskeleton is designed to take excess load of the legs of the wearer it makes wearing the gear much more viable.

Cyberdyne is located in Japan and this new upgraded HAL is intended for workers at the damaged Fukushima nuclear plant. This video show the suit in action http://youtu.be/PZCVwGlh9MI
