+inflatable exoskeleton, Professor Hiroshi Kobayashi,Japan.\\
+Basically instead of using heavy hydraulics, the exoskeleton uses air compression, which can help bend or straighten arms.
+The suit mimics the body's system of connecting muscles to bones via tendons. It could be used to boost the strength of specific muscles, such as biceps or triceps. The artificial muscles are made up of inflatable rubber tubes surrounded by flexible metal mesh connected at each end to the joints on the suit. When the tube inflates, the mesh bulges, which in turn pulls each end in and shortens the artificial muscle. Pressure sensors all over the suit would tell the artificial muscles when to kick in.
+Check out the video of the suit in action at igargoyle.com/.../2005/10/inflatable_exos.html
