Cool Wearable Walking Robot Suit

Holy f***ing sh*t!!!!

The Japanese are truly brilliantly crazy. This is both the coolest thing in the world and the most stupid thing to manufacture all at the same time. The end of the world is near.

If I were a space invader, I'd be sh*tting my pants. Watch out for the Nerf ammo!

Yeah, it's a piece of crap, but all ideas, designs, manufacturing processes go through some initial prototyping. There's so much that can be learned and improved upon. I fear for what may come out of it. Building such a thing with firearms is not a good thing for our future. But it's just so damn cool!

Who makes this robot? Are you sure it's not Cyberdyne?

Nice find

Honda should get this prototype and apply all of the knowledge tehy got from ASIMO and make one sick real anime type fighter. The future is robotics.
