If you live in Japan you will soon be able to rent a HAL or Hybrid Assistive Limb suit.

The suit is manufactured by, yes, Cyberdyne.

The 22 pond system hangs from a belt and is strapped to your legs.  It is also able to read your brain signals by using sensors that touch your skin. The suit will come in 3 sizes and rent for $2,200.00 per month.

The original HAL suit also included components for your shoulders and arms and has helped a quadriplegic climb a mountain.
