Wearable Robot Hangs on Shoulder
Don't look now but there is a robot crawling up your arm. Tsumaki Telerobotics Laboratory at Yamagata University in Japan has developed a wearable Robot that can sit on a co-worker's shoulder during a teleconference and looks where you do, well almost. Watch out for bullies that threaten to knock, smack or otherwise try to remove Telecommunicator T1 off your shoulder.

ActiveLink Builds Power Loader Suit
The Panasonic subsidiary ActiveLink has been working on a Power Loader Suit that has 18 electromagnetic motors allowing the user to lift over 200 lbs. while feeling the movement. If the "dual-arm power amplification robot" looks and sounds familiar, it gets its name from the sci-fi classic movie "Aliens." The suit weighs about 500 lbs., will be used for disaster relief and may become available by 2015.
