Robot Suit carries elderly like loaves of bread

We just saw a robot suit in person at NextFest, but this one here looks even more impressive than the one we checked out. Designed to help nurses pick up and carry the infirm around, the robotic exoskeleton seems like it could also be used to help you carry couches up fourth floor walkups and the like. Or really impressing people at the gym, if you could somehow hide it under a really big sweatsuit. In any case, it has a number of uses, as you can tell by my kind of bad ideas for it. The way the technology is moving, by the time you're old and helpless you might have a nurse that cradles you in her warm, exoskeleton arms. It'll either be comforting or it'll give you a heart attack. Boy, won't that be great?
