For the next four hours the camera clicked while the squid struggled to free itself, swimming back and forth until one of its 5.5-m-long tentacles finally tore off its body.

The "hybrid assistive limb," or HAL, is the brainchild of Professor Yoshiyuki Sankai of the University of Tsukuba, Japan. Inspired by Isaac Asimov's sci-fi novel I, Robot and Japanese manga comics, Sankai has produced a suit that weighs up to 22 kg and supports its own weight-and the wearer's-with a metal frame. When the wearer moves a major muscle...
