Unlike the svelt body armor donned by <A href="http://ironmanmovie.marvel.com/" linkindex="59">Iron Man</A>, however, most exoskeletons to date have looked more like clunky spare parts cobbled together.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=real-life-iron-man-exoskeleton"> Japan's <A href="http://www.cyberdyne.jp/english/index.html" linkindex="60">CYBERDYNE, Inc.</A> is hoping to change that with a sleek, white exoskeleton now in the works that it says can augment the body's own strength or do the work of ailing (or missing) limbs. The company is confident enough in its new technology to have started construction on a new lab expected to mass-produce up to 500 robotic power suits (think <A href="http://www.starwars.com/" linkindex="61"><EM>Star Wars</EM></A> storm trooper without the helmet) annually, beginning in October, according to Japan's <A href="http://64.233.169.104/search?q=cache:DTqb2JlU7ecJ:home.kyodo.co.jp/modules/fstStory/index.php?storyid=373791+kyodo+news+cyberdyne&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=3&gl=us&client=firefox-a" linkindex="62"><EM>Kyodo News</EM></A> Web site.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/4F5262E1-25C6-428F-A7C1-49FFBAEC4099/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
