ReWalk

Here’s an intriguing replacement for a wheelchair – an exoskeleton for the legs. I’m sure that this commercial airbrushes out some of the fiddly bits (getting in and out of the car, for instance), and I wonder what the battery life is like; but nevertheless it’s probably the beginning of something that we’ll see more of. In a few year’s time, I’m sure that the sticks will be dispensed with, and the exoskeletons will take on additional balancing function.
