Japanese Company Creates Suit That Turns You Into a Towering Mecha

A Japanese company called Skeletonics has created a suit that can be used to fight in the future.

The company's latest model is a fun upper body suit that requires no power supply beyond its wearer's own strength, and turns the wearer into a beastly boxer, as seen in a recently shared video.

The agility with which the man in the suit is moving the whole rig is impressive.

Smooth and Harmonious

keletonics says it's all about mimicking the wearer's exact moves without having to translate movement using complex electronics.

keletonics technology connects the mechanical and electrical components of the suit with the wearer's body to offer a smooth, harmonious experience of movement.

Arrive, a nine-foot mecha, featured two giant arms and articulated fingers. The company claims that the massive suit can be turned into a striking costume.

It is a fun example of what can be done with an exoskeleton. It's not clear whether the boxing suit will be able to handle mecha fist-to-mecha fist combat. It would make for a great show.

You can enter the boxing ring as a robot.
