Wow

Just wow. That is so cool.

[Touge Noob S13]

That is so much more awsome than a Segway.

[DALAZ_68]

i still prefer Awsome-O 4000...


on the real though...its a great step, especially for those who have lost limbs in war...

[lflkajfj12123]

really crazy how i was just talking about this same issue of bilateral amputees and possible future for soldiers like that guy

only though i was thinking of stem cell research :)

[kingkilburn]

I'm waiting for an arm like in starship troopers.

i want robot legs

[wildkong]

i wonder when they gonna come up with bionic people

[WanganRunner]

So it's "neurally controlled"? The articulation and physical flexibility is remarkable by any robotic standard, but the neural control is outrageous.

I wish I could find an article that goes more in-depth about how that works, I don't see Kamen wearing any sort of brainwave-receptor crap, and it can't be from the movement of the "stub" because Kamen has no amputation and he can still manipulate it.

Now we just need a Wing Gundam, it was "neurally controlled".

"Sorry, videos are currently not available in your country".

GRRRRR.

I assume they have the technology to attach neuro-controlled machinery/weapons to amputees?

yup, injured soldiers from the Iraq war are being sent back in with Megaman cannons.

::robot voice::
You will never have robot legs!

[Sileighty_DRFT89]

I too want to know how this is controlled. that guy eating blew my mind. I'm glad this will help amputies who suffer daily from the mental anguish of not being able to do daily things such as feeding themselves. I can't even imagine how it would be losing a limb. it would be such a loss.

[sincity_sil80]

looks like the future is bright.. its uplifting to see such advances in technology. this will benefit so many people

new owners should probably should practice with a cucumber first, might rip their dick off. lol

jokes aside that shit is nuts, definitely some amazing times we are in. the thought of how many people this would benefit, pure awesomeness.

Actually, it was Wing Zero and Epyon that had the "Zero" system.
