I am a huge fan of mecha and powered armor.
These things are very popular in Japan. Few know that one of the first references to powered armor can be attributed to some of my favorite authors; R.A.H. and Doc E.E. Smith.
I have long been waiting for the day that I can hop into a mecha or suit up in powered armor and fight massive battles or explore strange new worlds.
Well, sad to say, that is not likely to happen in my life time.
On the other hand there are events unfolding that can help nurses or others who need to move much weight around; H.A.L. and I don't mean the one from 2001: a Space Odyssey!
Another pioneer has started a different project for the same thing.
Perhaps, one day we can have armor powered by systems like these and help more people than are hurt from it. Perhaps.
