Cyberdyne

Best known for its advanced exoskeletons, Cyberdyne is readying a new cleaning robot for industrial facilities. The new model can be driven around its designated cleaning areas and remembers them, or it can explore and build its own internal map.

Practical exoskeletons have moved closer to common usage with the news that Honda has begun leasing 100 of its Walking Assist Devices to hospitals in Japan so that it can monitor and validate their usefulness of the device in the real world.
