Powered robot suits make debut on Tokyo streets


	Quote: Japanese scientists developing a powered exoskeletal suit intended for "heavy labour", "rescue support at disaster sites" and use by the disabled or elderly - not to mention applications in "the entertainment field" - have taken their equipment out for a test drive on the streets of Tokyo.

You'd have thought somebody would have trademarked or copyrighted the name, wouldn't you?

IIRC we have a military satellite called Skynet
