A team of young engineering students in Japan are working on the production of a robotic suit. This has been designed to help the elderly to move around and lift heavy objects more easily. The suit is like a kind of exoskeleton which goes over the top of your body from your shoulders to your calves. It is made of aluminium and has joints at the shoulder and elbow. It is also equipped with artificial muscles. The wearer can be helped to stand up, for example, by pressing controls which inject air into the suit so that the legs straighten and the person rises. The suit weighs almost ten kilos but users report that this does not seem heavy at all. They said that the increased strength that they got from wearing it gave them very positive feelings of empowerment.
