Two cyborgish devices designed for work, not recreation, that need to be combined: The Marshalltown 14900 SkyWalker Stilts, top, give you the extra 30" you need to get drywall up in those hard-to-reach places, while Nagoya University's Wearable Half-Robotic Device for Carpentry Workers, bottom, provides the muscle neccessary to complete difficult overhead tasks, like screwing in ceiling boards.
The SkyWalkers are in production and you can pick up a pair here for US $249; the Nagoya U. WHRDCW, alas, is still in prototype stages.
