Nov 18, 2008 - Yeah japan and the us are workign together on this for the US militarys future soldie program, they are combining things like thi (assisted strength) really advanced bulletproof exoskeletons, health monitoring, nanotechnology... pretty much the crysis nano suit but in real life.

Nov 18, 2008 - oh!! how can you say dat? it is really kool!!
kmt112991 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - true, I have seen this in the U.S. before, but Japan did make the suit a lot thinner and more sleek unlike the U.S. model. So yeah, they still get credit for it.

Nov 18, 2008 - This is amazing. We are getting closer and closer to the point where such things will be used in practice and not just in demonstrations. This is great stuff for handicapped people, morbidly obese, workers who perform straneous jobs, soldiers... The possibilities are limitless. 20,000$ is really cheap too. If they can produce a functioning unit that can increase your strength by up to 10 times in 20,000$ then these things will sell like bread.

Nov 18, 2008 - wait, so if he punched someone, would the strength be 10x his original? In that case, watch where this machine ends up. If the wrong people buy it, there's gonna be trouble.

Nov 18, 2008 - You must be from America.And my guess is right, looking at your profile...You don't want this world to end up as a conformist dystopia, right? Please change your way of thinking, it will also make you paranoid, often followed by death, so I've warned you.
cvin519 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - Sorry, I was just wondering... and me being from America has nothing to do with it. I wasn't even born there..
m84hr3muk Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - You don't get the joke...So I have failed.

GeneralWrath Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - but the robot does not move for you, it can strengthen the muscle that is already there. Yes it is also true the US has been building a stronger version for a while now, among other things Japan often gets credit for.
