Sounds like the exoskeletons that they are working on in Japan. The one called HAL is cool.

Interesting stuff.

As for looking for funding, I know that one of the otherforums that I participate in specializes in that kind of question. You cancheck them out at VC Fodder Forums.

A lightweight wheelchairs is usually a manual wheelchair, although you can get "light" electric wheelchairs, these are nowhere near as light as a manual one can be.
