From Fiction to Fact: Iron Man Armor: Robot suit HAL.
The Fiction: When billionaire, playboy,
philanthropist Tony Stark isn’t hobnobbing with the rich and famous, he
dons his high-tech, flying suit of armor and fights bad guys as the
unstoppable Iron Man.
The Fact: A Japanese company, Cyberdyne, has developed, and will soon mass market, Robot Suit Hal® (Hybrid Assistive Limb®).
Through a series of sensors, the suit is not only able to mimic the
wearer’s movements, but it also enhances their strength by ten times.
And the flying part can’t be too far behind. Evildoers beware!
