Exoskeleton Rex for $ 150 000

Seven years of development have allowed engineers to create an exoskeleton Rex, able to fully support the weight of the person. With the help of people who previously wheelchair users, may again feel "on their feet." On sale in New Zealand novelty can appear as early as this year, while in others its appearance is expected by 2011. Each exoskeleton created separately in the factory Rex Bionics in Auckland and potential customers will have to undergo special training and fitting models to their individual performance. On average it takes two weeks. Unfortunately, afford robo-legs can not everyone who needs them. The initial value of Rex will be at $ 150,000. Maybe in New Zealand the first time the price will be reduced as developers easier to provide product support in the immediate vicinity of the production. Also the first time the company will be very interested in feedback from customers, because no matter how carefully it may provide testing absolutely all situations in real life impossible.
