A robotic suited called the HAL-5 (which was created by Tsukuba University professor Yoshiyuki Sankai) which was created a few year ago will be available for rent in Japan starting this Friday.

The suit will be available for $2,200 a month. The company who manufactures the suit, Cyberdyne (that’s right – the company has almost exactly the same name as the company that created the genocidal Skynet in the “Terminator” movies) hopes it will be useful to the elderly and people with disabilities.
