Powerloader Light Exo-Suit Adds 40kg of Kick-Power on your Legs [Robots]

If this exo-suit is the Powerloader Light , I’m guessing here’s the Powerloader . It’s going to increase leg power by 40kg, though at a price of $223,000, none of us will probably be kicking someone while wearing it anytime soon.

Panasonic is selling the Powerloader Light for half that price to developers ($111,500), with the request that any research need to be presented inside the first year. The concept behind it’s that it is able to help with rehabilitation, but when it runs on Linux 2.6 and may be modded both at software and hardware levels, I know what I’d be using it for. Kicking down pinatas and sprinting off with my spoils, yes. [ PlasticPals ]
