There could soon be real-life cyborgs walking among us. A Japanese robotics firm recently received approval from the FDA to bring its futuristic HAL Robot Suit to the U.S. Cyberdyne has been developing the Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL) for nearly a decade, but only now has the firm been able to bring the technology stateside. Cyberdyne's Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL) robotic suit can help people with spinal injuries learn to walk again. Now, the Brooks Cybernetic Treatment Center in Jacksonville, Florida is testing out the robotic suit that is worn as an exoskeleton and can be used to help people with disabilities learn to walk again. The robot suit fits around the wearer's midsection and legs to provide support for people who are otherwise unable to walk on their own, such as people who are suffering from a spinal cord injury.
