Tokyo: A Japanese man who paralyzed from the waist in decades down to start his ambitious journey to Normandy to climb the mountain. Seiji Uchida (49) perform this action with the help of a sophisticated robot clothing. The father of two children will be picked up Mount Saint Michel in France by a companion who wrapped cybernetic exoskeleton. This robot clothing can increase the wearer's strength tenfold, Monday (4 / 7)
Robotic suit makes a Japanese man have multiple powerUchida, who lost the ability to walk 28 years ago after a car accident, achieve a beautiful view of the monastery atop a mountain on the French coast and it's just the beginning of a lifetime journey. The technology makes possible a feat that was thanks to a robot outfit Hybrid Assisted Limb (HAL).
Hiromasa Hara Tsukuba University students use the suit to climb the short steps before making a challenge across the world on Tuesday. Cybernetic technology with a remarkable piece that has been developed by professor Yoshiyuki Sankai at the University laboratory on the outskirts of Tokyo.
Cybernetics is an area of development for research in Japan Cyberdyne Corporation has begun mass production of cybernetic bodysuit that can add a lot of body movement and increases the power users.
After HAL works to detect faint signals Bioelectrical to use pads placed on certain areas of the body. Bearing moves the setting of the HAL suit.
"When someone tries to move, nerve signals are sent from the brain to the muscles via motoneuron, moving the musculoskeletal system as a consequence," said Site by of Cyberdyne.
"At this time, a very weak biosignals can be detected on the surface of the skin".
"HAL catch these signals through a sensor attached to the wearer's skin. Based on the signals obtained, the power unit is controlled for the use of everyday activities".
