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.

Lift It Like PowerLoader[/caption]
Engineers say that Power Loader robot can lift about 30 kgs with just one arm, when you 'signal it'. The plan now is to make a robot that can lift about 100 kgs. Check out this video offered by ActiveLink that shows PowerLoader in action -
