[ICRT08] Ritsumekan - MMSE Man-Machine Synergy Effectors

This exhibit was pretty exciting. They were showing a pair of mechanical legs that you could literally strap yourself into and walk around (that's on the far left). Next was a robotic arm you could slide into and lift heavy objects with relative ease and no strain on the elbow (center). But the most striking to me, was this wheel chair attachment that could actually pick up a 500yen coin on the first try, every time successfully. It was a very impressive booth.

This video was taken at the 2008 ICRT (Information Communication Robotic Technology) Conference at the INTEX Center in Osaka, Japan.
