Yoshiyuki Sankai is CEO and President of Cyberdyne, a Japan-based company which has produced the world’s first cyborg-type robot, a powered exoskeleton called HAL (Hybrid Assistive Limb). HAL’s uses include helping spinal injury patients to learn to walk again, and supporting workers with heavy lifting – not only helping to restore normal human functioning, but also augmenting and improving it.
