    The document discusses HAL, a robotic exoskeleton suit created by Cyberdyne to enhance human strength and mobility. HAL can allow a person to lift 5 times their normal weight. It uses sensors on the skin to detect nerve signals and move in sync with the wearer's muscles. Over 300 HAL suits have been used in Japan to help rehabilitation patients and for tasks like cleanup at Fukushima. However, HAL has short battery life and is currently only available in Japan.

    Cyborg-type robot that can support, expand


    or improve physical capability.

    Capable of allowing the operator to lift and


    carry about five times as much weight as he
    or she could lift and carry unaided

    Two Versions
    HAL 3 Legs only
    HAL 5 Full body suit
    Researched started by Dr. Sankai, a professor
    at Tsukuba University in Japan.

    HAL was created for rehabilitation patients and


    physical training support in medical field.

    Can also be used for heavy labor, and possible


    rescue support at disaster sites,

    Possibly in the entertainment field in the


    future.

    Not intended for Military Use


    Voluntary control system

    When a person attempts to move, nerve signals


    are sent from the brain to the muscles from the
    motoneurons and very weak biosignals can be
    detected on the surface of the skin.

    HAL catches these signals through a sensor


    attached on the skin of the user.

    Based on the signals obtained, the power unit is


    controlled to move the suit in unison with the
    user's muscle movement.
    Robotic autonomous control system
    provides human-like movement based on a
    robotic system which works together with the
    autonomous control system
    HAL is the world's first
    cyborg-type robot
    controlled by a hybrid system
    voluntary control system mixed with
    a robotic autonomous control system
    Very Successful
    By October 2012, over 300 HAL suits were in use by
    130 medical facilities in Japan
    In late February 2013, HAL received a global safety
    certificate, becoming the first powered exoskeleton
    to do so
    In November 2011, HAL was selected to be used for
    cleanup work at the site of the Fukushima nuclear
    accident.
    Increases patients stride length and walking speed
    significantly
    Only available in Japan at the moment

    Expensive to the public


    $14,000-19,000 for one suit

    Decreases physiological cost Index after a


    patient uses HAL

    Very Short Battery Life


    Needs to be continuously charged
    Suit with
    Longer Battery Life
    Less weight
    Less expensive to public
    Give more support to the user

    Therapeutic games using the HAL that can


    stimulate cognitive activities and help
    disabled patients walk while playing.

    Cyberdyne plans on modifying suits


    specifically for disaster recovery like the
    Fukushima nuclear accident
