Robot suit for Farmers

2009 January 17

The Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology has developed an agriculture robot suit designed specifically to help out with tough agricultural work like pulling radishes. The suit has eight motors fitted over the shoulders, elbows, back and knees to provide a power boost to the wearer. The current model weighs a hefty 25 kilograms, but developers hope to halve the weight and have it on the market in two years, retailing for between 500,000 and 1 million yen. -source

    Migs, this is off-topic but just want you to know that my BP-6M battery somewhat ballooned/swelled and I can’t close the back of my 6233. Maybe you could inform more people about this ’cause I can’t find an official Nokia Advisory. I’m planning to take it to Nokia service center.
