Whew!  Or you can call it HAL for short.  I almost had an aneurysm saying that.  Anyway, it’s the brain child of Yoshiyuki Sankai, a professor at the University of Tsukuba.  The exoskeleton allows the wearer to lift and carry weights that they wouldn’t otherwise.  It also allows the wearer to look like a Power Ranger!
