Not one of the robots, but rather the "muscle" suit described later in the article:
A full-body robotic suit developed by the Kanagawa Institute of Technology outside Tokyo is a massive contraption powered by 22 air pumps to help nurses hoist patients on and off their beds.
Sensors attached to the user's skin detect when muscles are trying to lift something heavy -- and signals to the air pumps to kick in to provide support.
Excuse me while I clean the drool off my keyboard.
