And these aren't just for the lazy, either, Japanese researcher Yoshiyuki Sankai says his suit is meant to help people with weakened leg muscles to be able to walk smoothly, while University of Utah roboticist Stephen Jacobson is pitching his robotic exoskeleton (pictured at right) to the military so that soldiers can carry heavier loads of equipment without getting tired.
