If anyone bothered to read the text they'd know this apparatus has huge potential in helping people to walk who are disabled in some way. I bet it'll cost many thousands of dolars though.

@skip: I suppose it would be good for the Military in that case, but not directly in combat, though. Not until it's strong enough to support 1/2" Titanium armor...
Actually, I've seen demonstration of HAL before. It's actually very interesting. The suit weighs a LOT, though. That's about the only problem with it. You move slower than a dry turd when trying to get from point A to point B. That is, of course, in the demo I saw. I don't know if they've made any advancements or revisions since.
I guess some day we'll have mech suits and tachikomas just like Ghost in The Shell.
Yep, it does but I read in an article, yesterday (that's how I got this idea to start this thread) that they want to create a suit, in the next 4 - 5 years, not thicker than a normal suit (piece of clothing).
