I’m looking at this and I still think it’s gotta be some sort of a put-on. Is this for real?
Japan ready to market “robot suit”TOKYO (AFP) – Japanese companies are preparing for the commercial launch of a “robot suit” that helps aged or physically disabled people walk, get up the stairs or seat themselves to relax without a chair.
In science fiction, this sort of thing has been called an exoskeleton. There was one in ALIENS. Ripley gets into it to fight the alien mother bug at the end of the movie. (If anyone has a picture of it, send it to me and I’ll post it here for comparison.)

Update: Here’s a pic of the exoskeleton from ALIENS, thanks to Bryon Scott.
