Tetsujin means 'iron man' in Japanese, and that's exactly what this competitive RoboGames category is all about. In this video, Monty Reed demonstrates his robot suit's ability to actually jump. For more information visit Robots Dreams at http://www.robots-dreams.com.

The point is that its the suit thats doing that. When you've got something thats lifting 200 pounds off the ground vertically on pressure alone, thats impressive. Instead of looking at it at face value, think.

thanks. I get to control the fifteenth prototype when it's finished being built in 2010

I hope someday to spend 1000s of dollars on a suit that will decrease my vertical AND horizontal jumping distance by at least 75%

clearly by the look of the 'mechanics' that are just plastic tubes for aesthetics, it's just him jumping making it look like it's done by his robot not him.

@d0x360

The fact that the suit could even do that is the amazing factor dude

[TheWeatherman100]

So...he's not jumping himself, it's the suit jumping for him...

Great for crippled people, but I'll like something more throw-cars-at-buildings-y...

im not saying or inferring its a hoax video(unless some team of 80 ppl set up a staged convention) BUT, i cant really tell how well this works. how much is his movement, and how much is the suit?

[littleinventorreed]

your mean. and the japanese one may look cooler, but it doesn't carry the person inside of it. the lifesuit does

[littleinventorreed]

It's not a waste, he's trying to help parylyzed people walk again. how would you feel if you couldn't walk.
