Robotic Exoskeleton Lets Paraplegic Stroll the Streets of New York
From: Robotic News - 07/21/2015

Last week, a paralyzed man strapped on a pair of robotic legs and joined the
flow of rushing pedestrians on a sidewalk in Manhattan. The user, Robert Woo,
was demonstrating a recently unveiled exoskeleton, the ReWalk Personal 6.0
from ReWalk Robotics. He got a few curious looks as he strode forward in his
sleek black gear, but the fast-walking New Yorkers didn't slow down or clear
space for him. US regulators approved a prior version of the ReWalk system
for people with spinal cord injuries, and cleared it for both clinical and
personal use. It's the only exoskeleton to receive that wide-ranging
clearance thus far, meaning it's the first exoskeleton to make it out of the
hospital and into the wild.
