Honda Motor Company, Tokyo, Japan, has unveiled a
wearable robotic walker designed to help auto workers do their jobs
with less fatigue. According to Honda, “The device is designed for
people who are capable of walking and maneuvering on their own, but
who can benefit from additional leg and body support while
performing tasks. Honda will now begin testing the device in
real-world conditions to evaluate its effectiveness.”
