Wheelchair Users . A Huge Step Forward

Keep an OPEN MIND, this invention is at a very early stage, yes it is bulky and heavy, love it or hate it, remember the name eLEGS as technology moves amazingly fast and this is a huge step forward.

Note: There are approximately 68 million people worldwide that use wheelchairs.

http://www.ted.com Eythor Bender of Berkeley Bionics brings onstage two amazing exoskeletons, HULC and eLEGS -- robotic add-ons that could one day allow a human to carry 200 pounds without tiring, or allow a wheelchair user to stand and walk. It's a powerful onstage demo, with implications for human potential of all kinds.
