Found an article over on engadget and they got to review Honda's latest tech which was two seperate devices to assist people in walking. One is to assist with stride and the other is meant for workers who do a lot of bending and such. Check out the link here:

There's also a video demonstration. I thought it was pretty cool.

I like the idea, kinda like Darth Vader, I'm still looking forward to stem cells, but this is cool. IRON MAN too.
