I know it's meant to assist weak or disabled people but I can see this as a possible contributing factor to overweight people. People are lazy enough already.

Think its mainly meant for factory workers. More productivity
less, knee surguries, etc.

But still. How long before its allows someone slow to run fast!

Then they could also make vehicles that are more bio-extensions
of your own body. The future is soon!

how long until someone modifies one of these suits?
It's available for rental in Japan? Do you think it will get the same treatment as a rental car does? I'm thinking I could rent one for a home demo project. ;-)

Next step is most likely converting this unit to full robotics for parylized people. Cool.
