Bodyweight Support Assist

Imagine how much easier it would be to perform a physically demanding
activity with a ?lighter? body. That?s the effect achieved by the prototype
Bodyweight Support Assist being developed and tested by Honda.
Honda?s second experimental walking assist device helps support
bodyweight to reduce the load on the user?s legs while walking, going
up and down stairs, and in a semi-crouching position. This could lead
to reduced fatigue and less physical exertion.
More than 130 patents have been applied for pertaining to the walking
assist devices, which are currently being tested in real-world conditions
to evaluate their effectiveness. Eventually, other applications may be
found for such a device, including everyday activities such as sightseeing.
As a company that values mobility, Honda began research into a walking
device in 1999. The cumulative study of human walking along with research
and development of technologies conducted for Honda?s advanced
humanoid robot, ASIMO, made these developments possible.
