Every self-respecting fan of robots, or even animations featuring robots, has at some point dreamed of strapping themselves into an exoskeleton and emulating their favorite anime heroes.
The Skeletonics robot suit, developed by 24-year-old Reyes Tatsuru Shiroku and other members of the 2008 Robocon robot contest champion team from Okinawa National College of Technology, may soon make that dream a reality.
Operating the 2.6-meter-tall Skeletonics contraption is as simple as climbing into its metal frame and moving your own arms and legs.
