A video news report on a power-lifting robot suit developed by researchers at the Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology:

For more information about this suit, check out the very informative article Pink Tentacle posted earlier this week!

Not understanding japanese I’m probably missimg something here, but if Wussboy there needs a POWERED ROBOT SUIT to lift TWENTY G__DAMN KILOS he needs to find a line of work other than farming.

Okay after reading the Pink Tentacle, I understand that Wussboy is just a grad student. Still, it,s just two bags of rice. I imagine any japanese farmers seeing this would just laugh.

Japan’s rural population is mostly elderly these days, so the aim of this project is to give old farmers super-powered robot arms to lift heavy objects.
