New robotic legs

A new robotic invention called Rex is allowing Hayden Allen to walk, and literally transform his life. Through controlling his robotic legs with a joystick, Hayden who was until four months ago wheel chair bound is able to carry on his former profession as a mechanic. REX users can stand up, walk, move sideways, turn around, go up and down steps, as well as walk on flat, hard surfaces including ramps and slopes. It is powered by a custom-made rechargeable battery that will typically provide two hours of active use on a full charge. The development costs a mere $150,000 and New Zealand company Rex Biotics is in the process of concluding all the tests required prior to putting REX on the market in Europe and Australia. It will also be seeking approval so that REX can be put on the market in the USA.
