Accutech delivers a new 'exoskeleton' arm

A new powered limb offers hope to the disabled, as well as those who just want to crush bricks with their bare hands.

R & D firm AccuTech has just announced a massive breakthrough in exoskeleton advances. 

Using revolutionary hyper-sensors and nano-hydraulic technology, the exoskeleton is able to detect and amplify body movement. Covering over 80% of the human body, it also protects its wearer from high impact and extreme temperatures.

In a video released today a prototype arm is shown in action, with the full exoskeleton due to be unveiled next month at the hotly anticipated Stark Expo 2010.

Charles Healey, CEO commented: "Putting aside the obvious commercial applications of HazTech, our priority is to unlock its humanitarian potential. By better protecting the lives of peacekeepers and emergency rescue teams, we can help them save the lives of others."

Here's a brief overview of the arm in action.

We welcome our new powered overlords!
