His sent messages to the machine and it moved his arms and legs. He was able to walk a few using the machine even he was paralyzed.

Doctors say they are in the stages of developing this . They believe robotic exoskeletons will help disabled people to live lives in the . Technology will be able to pick up from the brain to control wearable robotic technology. The next is to remove the ceiling harness.
