Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto

Japanese company, Cyberdyne has released HAL (Hybrid Assistive Limb) Robotic Exoskeleton; translation: a robot suit. Even though the suit looks like a half completed replica of an Imperial Stormtrooper from the Star Wars movie, it’s creators say that the 22lb battery-operated suit increases your strength 10x. In addition to the superhuman strength the suit supposedly moves effortlessly and doesn’t have that awkward RoboCop movement, in case any potential crime fighters were wondering. In actuality the suit is really aimed at individuals with physical disabilities but that $4200 price tag might scare off any prospective customers.
