Honda’s Robo-Legs – Futuristic Walking Assist Device

2008 November 11

Honda recently revealed an interesting piece of technology. The device is a robotic exoskeleton that is worn like shoes to support the body and protect the joints while moving around and doing repetitive tasks like what workers might do daily in factories. Honda developed the gadget using technology developed and achieved from its ASIMO robotics program as is expected to roll out units to workers in their motor vehicle factories for testing this month.

Personally the device looks rather “uncomfortable” if you know what I mean but I would try it though :D.

    I could see this technology being used in the future for people in wheelchairs.
