Cyberdyne · Exoskeletons · 2012
The original wearable cyborg. Cyberdyne’s HAL reads faint bioelectric (EMG) signals on the skin before the muscle moves, then drives powered hip and knee joints to assist — the medical lower-limb suit weighs ~23 kg, runs ~2h40m per charge, and was the first robot certified to the ISO 13482 personal-care safety standard. FDA-cleared in the US in 2018.
