walking assist device by honda
if you thought the segway was the future of odd looking transportation, honda recently unveiled its second walking assist device. the strange looking gadget is designed to support the user’s body weight, reducing the weight load on their legs. the machine consists of a seat, frame and shoes. the user simply moves as normal and the machine reduces the load on their knees and ankles. the unit weighs 6.5kg and has two battery powered motors which will last for 2 hours of use. honda has already begun testing the device at one of its factory’s.

This is super cool!! Unfortunately my 90+ year old grandparents are scared of how an ‘answering machine’ works they would never get used to the idea of this!
does it jerk u off too? that wud be somethin’
i’m not convinced yet… it’s a good idea for people working on their feet all day and rehabilitation… but the attached shoe should definatly be taken off… are the employers going to wear the same shoes every single day? and does everyone have their own because of different foot sizes? plus in the standing positing it protrudes a lot… that could get annoying. it’s a good idea but still needs some work.
