| Let me say up front that I have enormous respect for the Japanese nation & people and no disrespect is meant by posting this. No doubt its a serious development and could be useful to some, but the pictures just crack me up...
Hope I'm not the only one!

| John - yes, the photos are amusing! I did not realise until I scrolled down that they were intending to use this for able bodied folk - or were those photos just of prototypes being tested? |

| well it seems that we resonate on the same wave length in this forum!
i just logged-in so as to paste this address, and found out that jpk had posted another address about the same subject
this one is a video of how that japanese machine is working
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7719369.stm
my opinion is that the machine itself is good, it can help disabled and old persons
of-course it can also just damage the muscles of a healthy person
it all depends on the way it will be used (like all human inventions...)
