I actually thought this idea would not be possible until I read some articles online about some fiber-optic research a professor did on muscle-like fiber cables.
The idea is very simple. You just create legs that are larger than you and then the person gets into the devise. It would have a lock in-like connection around the thigh, which is where the legs move themselves with the sensation of the legs (this can be adapted from current limb replacements: arms, legs, etc.) Then the part from the joint of the leg would be all relexive, depending on the sensation from the legs. (The sensors pick up movement for moving forward, and the legs has automatic reflex to move in a way to go forward.)
draw-backs: may have difficulty with sensation of moving forward, backward, or just pausing.
Reward: like to see it get built and have my name mentioned as creator.
