    Japanese robo-farmers set to enslave human race.

    Well, not quite, but if certain people get their way, robotically assisted farmers will be toiling effortlessly in Japan's fields within 12 months.

    Fifteen years in the making, the robosuit will soon hit the market in Japan to help ageing farmers harvest their fruit and vegetables while avoiding backaches and nasty cramps.
    That's all wonderful, but going from the picture, the "wearers" hands and fingers are still the only thing holding up that box, not the suit. I suspect this will be one of those "nice idea, completely stupid execution" things...

    ive seen anotherone recently that has hooks at the ends of the arms, and is supposed to be use to do a lot of heavy lifting. They look really cool. So when are we just going to have full on mech suits and fight wars in them???



    I think it was this one and the hooks could be attached, but i cant be for sure

    Are you a farmer? No. So you don't get to have one.

    It's a long way short of the lifting machine/loader thing from Aliens.

    Very dissapointed.
