Cyberdyne makes a robotic exoskeleton. Anyone see a problem with that?

Named HAL, no less. Joking aside. I love this thing. They are a mere $50-60K is what i've heard they will cost. I see myself buying one of these as a toy in the future (probably far future).

* Robot Suit HAL is a cyborg-type robot that can expand and improve physical capability.
* When a person attempts to move, nerve signals are sent from the brain to the muscles via motoneuron, moving the musculoskeletal system as a consequence. At this moment, very weak biosignals can be detected on the surface of the skin. HAL catches these signals through a sensor attached on the skin of the wearer. Based on the signals obtained, the power unit is controlled to move the joint unitedly with the wearer's muscle movement, enabling to support the wearer's daily activities. This is what we call a 'voluntary control system' that provides movement interpreting the wearer's intention from the biosignals in advance of the actual movement. Not only a 'voluntary control system' HAL has, but also a 'robotic autonomous control system' that provides human-like movement based on a robotic system which integrally work together with the 'autonomous control system'. HAL is the world's first cyborg-type robot controlled by this unique Hybrid System.
* HAL is expected to be applied in various fields such as rehabilitation support and physical training support in medical field, ADL support for disabled people, heavy labour support at factories, and rescue support at disaster sites, as well as in the entertainment field.

So, the company from The Terminator made the robot from Space Odyssey?

Thats fucking awsome! Now all we need is to combine that with some optical camoflauge built in night vision/infrared and a workable head to toe body armor...

Hehe. Well that suit is created by a guy who wants to help the disabled and industry. Don't confuse the HAL with this:
<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent">
Thats the prototype for the cyborg wars.
