A paraplegic sportsman has been able to walk for the first time in more than 10 years thanks to the aid of a robotic exoskeleton.

Jun-beom Park was paralysed in 2008 after being involved in an accident on the way to a school exam.

He damaged his thoracic vertebrae and suffered from depression as a result of the incident, isolating himself from his friends and family for a year.

Now, 11 years after sustaining the injury, an exoskeleton suit developed by Hyundai Motors Robotics Lab has enabled Mr Park to walk again.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

C S Lewis
