Honda demonstrates prototype walking assist devices

[Guest guest]

Honda demonstrated its prototype walking assist devices for the first time in

the U.S. today. Intended to support walking for the elderly or people with

weakened leg muscles, the devices are currently being tested in real-world

conditions to evaluate their effectiveness. The company has applied for more

than 130 patents for the devices which are based on the study of human walking

along with research and development of technologies conducted for Honda's

advanced humanoid robot, ASIMO.
