dedicated to the discussion of the chinese internal martial arts of xingyiquan, baguazhang, taijiquan, related arts, and anything else best discussed over a bottle of rum
I think it's a nice start on harnessing the Starship Troopers type technology for everyday uses. For some people this sort of thing might be a better answer than a cane, a walker--might even replace the wheelchair for some people. Of course it will need further development and testing.
I define internal martial art as unusual muscle recruitment and leave it at that. If my definition is incomplete, at least it is correct so far as it goes.
if anything, they need to make them in different seat sizes--some of the ambulatorily challenged folk i've seen have rather wide loads following them...
Honda has always been one of my favorite companies ever; they're always on the bleeding edge of technology and innovation. (And it made every car I ever owned.)
On that note, here's that famous commercial that took them 606 takes and cost $6 million to shoot and took 3 months to complete (one shot, all actual car parts, and no CGI whatsoever.)
Yes, that old commercial, again. High art is never old.
