Power Loader Exoskeleton Robot Makes You More Powerful, Without Workouts!

Engineers working at Panasonic's subsidiary venture ActiveLink have developed a robotic exoskeleton that accepts force input from humans and then makes it more powerful with some advanced hydraulics and electric motors. The earlier plan was to make a very big machine, but after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant disaster, engineers decided to make a smaller version.
