Cool video - robotic exoskeleton allows paras to walk

http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/HealthyLiving/bionic-breakthrough-robotic-suit-helps-paraplegics-walk/story?id=9741496&page=1

This an interesting article with video. An Israeli made robotic suit with a battery pack can help paraplegics stand up from a chair and slowly walk, by sensing when steps are taken and even when stairs need to be climbed. Possibly available in late 2010, this is just another example of some great innovation and research that is happening. Exciting stuff.
