“Brain controlled” exoskeleton boosts limb power

“Hybrid Assistive Limb” or “HAL” is an exoskeleton by Cyberdyne that detects electrical pulses on the skin when one’s brain sends a “move” message to a limb.  The robotic suit recognizes the intended motion, and then moves “naturally” with the arm or leg, providing additional power.
