I know I'm not the only one who has thought of this, but with all this new technology that has come out/will come out, my friend Jamal and I have actually switched gears from an Iron Man suit, to a form of paralysis cure.

It's pretty much an highly-experimental combination of two technologies; the Robotic Exo-skeleton,

and the Brain-Gate Neural Interface System (BGNIS).

Pretty much what we're aiming to do, is to create a brain-gate-like device that is linked to a robotic exoskeleton. So when your brain sends signals to your body to move, those signals will be transferred instead to the robotic exoskeleton. In other words, the robo-exoskeleton becomes your new body, that you can control with your thoughts the same way the rest of us control our body and movements.

And in the years to come, we'll probably be at the point where we can make robotic appendages that look like flesh and bone.

Isn't there something like this already?

Not really. At least, nothing nearly as sophisticated. I think there's something like a prototype in design and experiments.

Imagine the potential

Thanks, I hope we manage to actually get something out of this.

A part of me would feel like superman if I end up being partly responsible for helping to eliminate a disability...

Superman... paralysis research...

Nice one.

Oh My God.....I just realized that I did that...
