I thought this was legit; it's suppossed to be a walking 'frame' for elderly, etc, with trouble walking (HAL stands for 'Hybrid Assistive Limb' or similar), and I've seen it mentioned seriously in a number of places (most recentlt http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000517070706/).
And then I found the website; http://sanlab.kz.tsukuba.ac.jp/HAL/indexE.html
Look at the captions of the images......... eep!

I can't believe they're going to allow THAT to be in control of people's limbs.
"Why are you holding that sharp knife Timmy, you don't want to use that!"

Aren't the Merkins developing something similar for their Future Soldier project or whatever it's called? So they can carry more kit and stuff...?
Any fool can pull a trigger...

And make us all dance to their song
To the tune of starving millions
To make a better kind of gun...
