Exoskeleton for children - Sci-fi movies and video games are filled with exoskeletons, the robots where the pilot is on board and become the "brain" of the machine. More protective armor, but at the same time fully controllable with respect to a robot with the total synergy between rider and machine. Anyone who is fan of the genre and pearls technology will surely dream of driving one, unfortunately until now existed only on the big screen.
From today the dreams of many will begin to come true, or at least those of children. In fact the market is a basic version of the exoskeleton intended for small children, unable to move, with two arms that can grasp objects and perform basic actions, but a few.
For reasons of size for the time being only children can make this amazing experience, actually the company that Sakakibara Kikai had made a most similar to those seen in the full movie, but beyond that it would also be too dangerous to be sold freely. Here the controls are very simple and limited movement to guarantee the safety of the child, an example is simply to simulate the walk which actually takes place on the wheel, giving the mech a stability that would have on two legs.
Obviously such a beast has a very high cost, expected to be around € 16,000, but may not be a pipe dream, unless I misunderstood (the site is in Japanese), it could be rented for a royal to their children a special day.
