HAL [Hybrid Assistive Limb] is the world‘s first cyborg-type robot, by which a wearer‘s bodily functions can be improved, supported and enhanced.
The wearing of HAL leads to a fusion of “man”, “machine” and “information”.
HAL assists in physically challenging workplace heavy-labor tasks and enables him or her to exert much more force than otherwise physically possible or practically sustainable long-period lifting/maneuvering type work tasks.
HAL interfaces with the nervous system for automated force-assist activation.
