The robot gear in the picture above is produced by a company in Japan called Cyberdyne. According to the Cyberdyne's site, the Robot suit "is expected to be applied in various fields such as rehabilitation support and physical training support in medical field, ADL support for disabled people, heavy labour support at factories, and rescue support at disaster sites, as well as in the entertainment field."
In an ode to Stanley Kubrick and "2001: A Space Odyssey," the suit is aptly named "HAL."
