Life-changing gadgets: Time to upgrade yourself

The full monty - HAL (Hybrid Assistive Limb)

If you can't be doing with upgrading your body one bit at a time then the robot suit HAL (Hybrid Assistive Limb - not to be confused with the homicidal computer in 2001: A Space Odyssey) will do the job in a single, step-motored reboot.

Japanese manufacturer Cyberdyne Inc (Not to be confused with the homicidal computer company in The Terminator) plans to make 500 this year.

HAL's inventor Yoshiyuki Sankai reckons the suit can, "multiply human strength by a factor of two to ten". It also makes you look like a gladiator from Tron.
