Japanese robotics herald the way of the future. Are you worried that your bones are not as nimble as you would like; that you can't walk after a spinal injury, or that you might lose your job as a nurse because the patients are too heavy for you? Are you wondering when Schwarzenegger will be back?
Wait just a little bit longer. The movie will one day be a reality. The concept of Robocop is taking on new life in Japan, where bodily movements are used to instruct robotic limbs to move, and in the process to deliver strength to those who currently don't have it. A person might ask - where will they draw their power supply from? Maybe there will be circuitry in hospitals, etc. Check out this video. Personally, I await the day when Arnie will be beat up by an old Japanese geriatric patient. I'd pay to see that movie spoof.
In any case, this guy might be one of the few Japanese people who like their job.
This is far better than the technology I saw modelled by NZ academics working on the same theme. Their robot was so slow and cumbersome.
