Cyberdyne (Terminator) is a REAL company and they make robotic exoskeletons

In a never ending search of information regarding the development of killer robots, I came across a Popular Science article about Japanese scientists going for a quiet walk in their prototype robotic exoskeletons. The article has a video following the scientists as they walk down a sidewalk.

The exoskeleton is named HAL, which stands for Hybrid Assisted Limb.  It is being developed to help recovering patients or patients in physical therapy to move around and to also help users lift heavy objects.  The prototype shown in the video is not a full HAL system, but rather a partial system consisting of the exoskeleton's  legs.  The scientists in the video are also eerily quiet.

Robot/human integration is now on sale

Remember the old TV show The 6 Million Dollar Man with Lee Majors or the more recent Bionic Woman?  The premise of these fictional shows was that after some kind of horrible accident, science was able to "rebuild" a human using robotics and cutting edge science & theory.  The resulting upgrades gave the person enhanced strength, speed and vision.   The only drawback to the whole process was the cost.  Luckily there was always some quasi-governmental institution to pay for everything because nothing says "good intentions" like a shadow organization with it's own agenda.

Well, science has unfortunately advanced so far that the cost for many of the upgrades is now much more affordable.  The Institute of Engineering and Technology in London looked into cutting-edge robotics and technology now available to put into a human.  These "upgrades" include the eyes, hands, legs and overall strength; all things a hybrid robot can use to conquer humanity.
