RE: EKSO Bionics delivers updated exoskeleton for the disabled

It's a good step, but we need to see a much more robust and reliable system for more disabled people.

I would not be able to use it because of my upper body strength limitation caused by the nerve damage.

Plus, what happens if the unit fails while you are out? Are you stuck like the Tin Man out in the rain until you die or someone comes to your rescue?

I would like to see the exoskeleton be dual purpose in that if the hydrolics fail, the unit could be broken down into a rolling sled or chair.

Just a thought,
