This is really funny! A new robot to help farmers has been developed (in Japan of course), and comes as an exoskeleton that you can wear and help you carry stuff.

1) to keep me motivated to work and find cool topics to write about (I say that all the time, but this time is true)
2) to improve my written skills (yeah!! I really should)
3) [...]
