A robotic exoskeleton to support elderly people with weak arms is being developed by Japanese researchers.
Yoshiyuki Sankai at the University of Tsukuba near Tokyo, claims to have developed an exoskeleton that can improve the strength and utility of an ageing arm.
Tendon Injuries' Diagnosis may Be Revolutionised by Pneumatic Robot
Initial trials on four healthy volunteers suggest that a pneumatic robot can position patients' limbs inside an MRI scanner, and allow physicians to get sharp images of tendons that

According to New Scientist magazine, the new device can sense the angle, torque and nerve impulses in the arm.
Based on what it senses, says Sankai, the exoskeleton assists the user to move his or her shoulder and elbow joints.
Robot-capsule Sticks to Animal Intestines Without Damaging Tissues: Research
A group of Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) researchers have developed a prototype robot-capsule which is adhesive enough to anchor inside an intestine, and yet gentle enough not to tear soft tissue.
