Honda Wearable Robotic Walker

Nov 28, 2008
With the many factors that are contributing to an even more stressful daily routine nowadays, technology is used widely for looking for solutions to reduce stress in people’s lives. No, I am not saying that you should quit your job that causes you too much stress, there are new inventions that can help you do your job, stop feeling so tired at the end of the day, and be sure that the feeling of exhaustion is never a problem for you anymore.

The Honda wearable robotic walker, an innovative gadget planned to support bodyweight, helps diminish stress on the knees and presents many advantages for people who work in factories in positions that require a lot of standing and running around for deliveries. This device is also considered to be helpful for people with special health conditions such as people that suffer from arthritis, people with walking disabilities, as well as old people.

Such an appliance might seem a bit strange but the benefits it provides target people that indeed need a creative device to help reduce the physical stress they face every day.

You might wonder how it works, but it is probably a lot simpler that you think. You position the seat between your legs, put on the shoes and push the start button. The rest is just similar to the way one walks. According to Honda Motor Co., the system has a computer, motor, gears, battery, and sensors implanted in the wearable Robotic Walker, so that it responds to a person’s movements.

Honda announced that soon they will be testing the Robotic Walker among their workers at their assembly lines, for purposes of feedback and potential improvements in the design of this experimental gadget.

It is important to notice that this new gadget by Honda has a very specific niche and will probably not be used by the general public, unless it gets so popular that perfectly capable of walking, some might want to get a bit lazy sometimes and just start using it.

The comment regarding laziness was obviously made by someone self-centered who doesn't understand that there are some people who really have trouble walking unassisted. You shoud have a disease that restricts your mobility. I think it is a great looking device, since I do have trouble.
