Cyberdyne's Exoskeletons

Professor Yoshiyuki Sankai of the University of Tsukuba in Japan invented the HAL (Hybrid A. Limb) exoskeleton suit. The suit reads electric signals at the surface of the skin generated by muscle and then guide the motion of robotic limbs. There are other exoskeleton designs out there such as Berkeley Bionics, Raytheon and MIT.
