Guess who makes it
Q:Is HAL available for overseas users?
A:Unfortunately HAL is currently offered only for the residents in Japan. A branch office has been established to introduce HAL to the clients in EU.
For the clients in the other region, please kindly be patient for the time being.
Q:Can I use HAL?
A:HAL is primarily developed to upgrade the existing physical capabilities of the human body.
Theoretically speaking, HAL should be applicable to the others. Currently HAL is used by people with weakened muscle and some people with disabilities due to stroke and spinal cord injury.
Please contact us for the specific information about your case.
Q:How much is HAL?
A:The cost of HAL for the individual users in overseas is expected to be approximately US$1,000 per month (including $300 for maintenance/updates program).
Please be noted that the pricing for the institutional users will be much more expensive (approx. 3 times).
Q:How much does HAL multiply one's strength?
A:It depends on the type of HAL you wear, but roughly speaking, HAL can multiply 2 to10 times the original strength.
Q:Is HAL heavy while I wear it?
A:No, you don't feel heavy, because its exoskeleton supports its own weight.
Q:Can I go outside wearing HAL?
A:Currently we recommend the users to stay inside for the safety. However Prof. Sankai and his team proved that HAL specially designed for climbing mountains can work even in the snow at 4000 meters height. In the near future, it will be possible to be worn outside under the safety instructions / the usage guidelines.
The latest battery runs for 5hours in normal activities.
