Click here to see videos of the Timberjack in action. (I first saw this at Kung fu Monkey's blog.)
I knew there were other Mech projects in various stages of development, so I wanted to collect some here.
Click on the pictures below to take you to the article, home page, or videos !
This crazy egg thing is called the i-foot, designed to help handicapped (or lazy) people up stairs.
This is the Power Assist Suit, currently being rolled out in Japan to help nurses lift patients.
Here is a more utilitarian exo-suit from the University of Berkeley Lower Extremity Exoskeleton project.
Availible in slimming black and snappy dress greens
This monster is the T-52 Enryu Hyper Rescue Robot. Don't let this picture fool you, it weighs 5 tons and can tear apart a car (with videos to prove it !)
Luckily this is only the T-52. The robots won't be able to pass for human until at least the T-800 series.
The merger of man and machine is closer than we realize.
Why not get your cyborg name now?
