this is great! I have Muscular Dystrophy and I have to use a power wheelchair all the time. It looks like this could help me walk again. Please let me know when you come out with these I am very interested. I think it is great you are developing something for the disabled like me. Some healthy people never consider the needs of the less fortunate because they are so self absorbed and make such inconsiderate remarks as some have done here. Thank you Honda for the innovative technology!!!
Same here, Emery-Dreifuss MD and i think this will really help me! But damn.. it`s almost 2025 and still not released!?? It`s like somebody is stopping these projects intentionally 😡
this is great. I know lots of people with poor knees and they have difficulty walking. and for all of you who say it'll hurt you balls, it's got a comfy looking seat thats built like a bicycle. so as long as you don't sit on anything important your good to go. I'd like to see someone who has difficulty walking use this though
Sad to see such asinine comments. It's amazing that this tech is being developed. It will be able to help elderly, people with spina bifida, car accident victims, etc. I'm confident that people who cannot walk would be fine with the design if gave them mobility. And I'm sure the design will continue to modify and become less conspicuous. Way to go Honda! Keep up the great work.
It may be a pain for some, but for those who have limited coordination of their legs, it may turn out to be the perfect safety device so we can resume walking. The support should keep us from falling and breaking bones if our leg suddenly doesn't respond correctly when we try to make it move. For those with permanent nerve damage, that for safety sake, has forced us into a wheelchair, this could be a real blessing.
For those with weak leg muscles because of injury or disease this device would be of tremendous help to them. Though a two hour run time would be a limiting factor.
It could definitely be usefull for factory workers and soldiers, anyone of the sort that would need to stand, walk, or run for long distances or time periods. Mainly though, this would be invaluable to the elderly and physically impaired. If you have ever known someone in this situation, you would know they would give almost anything to regain some independence and mobility. It would be a dream come true for that segment of society.
Good idea, for people with handicap. But generally, we dont need walk assistants or things like segways or al this stuff which makes walking redundant. People worldwide move too less and are getting sick.
@imreallyjin the point is that it distributes the force... its much more comfortable to sit than to stand, and to lie than to sit, because the weight of your body is distributed accross a larger plane; from the bottom of your feet, to your whole thighs and butt, and from that to the entire back surface area of your body.
Well said, I will pray for your wife. My late sister prayed for me when I was in a diagnosed permanently vegetative coma and I even overcame the paralysis and loss of speech. That was 31 years ago.
I agree with you. I have osteoarthritis of the knees, and it would help me at those times when my knees feel weak, and my muscles are tired. I believe it would be good for a few hours a day, when walking gets difficult. I'm trying to get away from having knee implants...
This is useful not only for factory environments but for rehabilitation for people to walk again, elderly people who don't want to use walkers and to help them stay active, and for people who spend a lot of time standing at work.
Hi, I was affected by Polio when I was nearly 5-6 years old. About three years ago I've had surgery on my legs to make them strengthen. Though Doctors had told me that strengthening my legs will not make me walk as they'll be too weak. Now my legs are weak. However, I can stand holding on to something stabled and having part of my weight on it. I can take two to three steps before I start running out of breath. My question is, is there something know of to help me walk and stay stabled/not fall?
@bishouji used potentially in the army for soldiers that have to travel great distances by foot... there are a huge amount of uses other than what you think
What if you have already lost your muscles due to an illness? Have you heard of Inclusion Body Myositis? I think this would be invaluable for IBM patients. Is it available for sale yet and how much would it cost?
the military has these in development also, for basically the thing is the packs soilders carry are super heavy, it enables more freedom and strength, they have even adapted these for arm use also :)
@Tropetre I am only 34 with sever arthritis and foot problems I can see this being a miracle device for me when I get older. I have a feeling I'll probably need it by age 50. My father uses a scooter but this is so much better because you get range of motion and do not stay sedentary. It looks like they still need to do quite a bit as far as looks and comfort though. I think 10 years in the future is more realistic expectation for something that is more user friendly as well as cost effective.
But this could easily help to extend the life of those muscles, assuming you don't go all out and use it as 'regular daily use' thereby deteriorating your muscles. This would reduce lifelong strain on the muscles and could assist in the reduction of serious chronic back problems. Though I agree, not a necessity.
I can see some claims for crushed testacies happening. How much are they? Are they gyroscopic/will they help will balance? Can they support full bodyweight?
i think its useful for OLD people or if we need to walk long distance.. its function is just like the normal steering wheel and the powered steering wheel, we can use both but much better with the powered assist one.
this is great...it starts as entertainment or comfort but it could turn into something that would help lots of ppl with previous muscle or tissue damage on their legs and for ppl with bone movility illness...it could become something great.
I dont think its for regular people Jimbo. I think it has more potential uses for say the military as soldiers can carry more stuff through rough terrain and for longer distances or say for handycapped folks or say to take your grandma on a nice hike of the Grand Canyon.
I am 78 years old and believe that this could greatly help me through my daily routine which is becoming progressively harder as time goes on. By the way when are they going to increase the font size on youtube? I can hardly read it anymore. God damn cataracts
Patients with spinal cord injury and other neuromuscular disorders will benefit in the future. Perhaps a rehab device too to stimulate walking. The financial cost of falls and deep vein thrombosis may be decreased with a device like this. In surgery all patients have a device that sqeezes the legs intermittently to promote blood flow, this device is not so far fetched.
@donsprad I have MD too, I kind of wonder how it would work for people with conditions like ours! All the people trying it seem pretty able to walk without help anyway. I'm not in a power wheelchair, but I could see myself having trouble with this anyway. Of course, I've always wanted a pair of robotic legs to help with walking and standing
I personally wouldn't suggest people who are physically able to use this as a regular basis, since using this walking assist device means that your leg muscles are putting out less effort, so wouldn't your leg muscles shrink? I'm not a pro in science, but I'm just wondering :)

This can be a great assistant device for people with disabilites and older people who have problems on their leg joints.
this is great.

I think this is absolutely brilliant. My grandmother has terrible trouble walking and i wish this was available for her.
can it help polio victims walk? try me as model i'm very much willing ... tony damasco philippines
It`s almost 2025 and still not released to the public??? 😯

So, uh... what happened to this?
Hahahaha. I'm just about to ask the same thing.

@@pavugudpr.ramesh2547 where can get honda walking assist device and how much its cost
Lmao.. Literally exactly my first impression
so it's useable for at least 50% of the population
good enough
When it will be made available. We need one.
Does it have a vtec?!
Probably

True
peter schiller ever since tech boom, all we ever create are things to make our lives easier. not always good though.
I think the elderly need this, that's about it.
can this walking assist device help a spinal injury patient to walk? reply
Seems like this would be murder to the junk...

Post Leg-Day assistive device.
Is this available for public use and how to lease out?
looks too much like a bicycle seat to me-hard on the private parts hmm.
Yes
This would revolutionize farm work involving stooping and squatting.
Next Invention would be the human Shitter cause people find it so hard to shit these days !!
something portable I can wear in the mosh pit
Where can I find this device and what is its current price? Please answer
Would be nice to have some stats. And demonstration of the relative strength.
Where it is available what is the price ?
When this is available? Old parent needs this now
How much is this equipment? And has it been tested on older people with extra mobility needs?
@Clapboardstudio portal... 1 or 2? have them both right now
Well said, I will pray for your wife. My late sister prayed for me when I was in a diagnosed permanently vegetative coma and I even overcame the paralysis and loss of speech. That was 31 years ago.

I know many people who would benefit from this enormously. Way to go Japan, the Mecca of robotics and innovation.
Is it still available?
where i can get this walking deivec
you can also use it for soldiers that carry a lot, or other professions its just the battary time needs be atleast 12-24 hours,
This is useful not only for factory environments but for rehabilitation for people to walk again, elderly people who don't want to use walkers and to help them stay active, and for people who spend a lot of time standing at work.
Where can I buy one
how's the groin?
good for old people with hip problems?
This is a great idea, especially for someone who has trouble walking on their own.
How do you get one?

My question is, is there something know of to help me walk and stay stabled/not fall?
I could see this use for most people that are ither injured or seniors. It will really help them!
my groin hurts just looking at it, but I'm glad to see some useful progress in assisting those who can't walk.
what if they need to run or jump out of the way something?
Does it come with VTEC?
@bishouji used potentially in the army for soldiers that have to travel great distances by foot... there are a huge amount of uses other than what you think
did you ever get any response about this?
What if you have already lost your muscles due to an illness? Have you heard of Inclusion Body Myositis? I think this would be invaluable for IBM patients. Is it available for sale yet and how much would it cost?
How to get this device...?
What if you run using it?
how do you cycle?
We'll probably need this since we'll be working well into our 80s.
the military has these in development also, for basically the thing is the packs soilders carry are super heavy, it enables more freedom and strength, they have even adapted these for arm use also :)
are u doing an action movie again!
Does that thing grope you while you walk?
А такую приспособу можно использовать при переломе шейки бедра???
how much does it cost?
How do you figure?
Does it have V-TEC? I heard the asimo has AC.
It's probably made for factory use. As crouching halfway to put it a part or such can ruin your knees.
Need to know price
does it have vtec?
can we use it for children
I have a bad back and I see this as a most positive aid for my condition.
Gracias por subir el vídeo informativo.. gran aporte a la ciencia y a los discapacitados... saludos desde Chile..
I wonder how much this could improve running speed/distance.
where is the 2013 version?
@Tropetre I am only 34 with sever arthritis and foot problems I can see this being a miracle device for me when I get older. I have a feeling I'll probably need it by age 50.

@DBSpy1 it also comes with a symbian upgrade
Ok But will it blend?
does it really works?
I can see some claims for crushed testacies happening. How much are they? Are they gyroscopic/will they help will balance? Can they support full bodyweight?
Isn't this supposed for those with decreased motor functions ? Not for healthy people or for fun purpose.
Thanks for your good wishes.
@7xplorerCA aren't they here already
but... can you run with it?
I wonder how much that rides up...
how its awalking machine
but does it have Vtec?
i think its useful for OLD people or if we need to walk long distance.. its function is just like the normal steering wheel and the powered steering wheel, we can use both but much better with the powered assist one.
I wonder can you run with this?
hmmm i did not understand the point of the invation
هل يتوفر في العراق. لدي والدي بحاجة الى هذا الجهاز ؟
this is great...it starts as entertainment or comfort but it could turn into something that would help lots of ppl with previous muscle or tissue damage on their legs and for ppl with bone movility illness...it could become something great.
When they get the heavy duty titanium alloy models maybe.
I dont think its for regular people Jimbo. I think it has more potential uses for say the military as soldiers can carry more stuff through rough terrain and for longer distances or say for handycapped folks or say to take your grandma on a nice hike of the Grand Canyon.
can this thing help me run faster and jump higher?
(I know it can't)
I am 78 years old and believe that this could greatly help me through my daily routine which is becoming progressively harder as time goes on. By the way when are they going to increase the font size on youtube? I can hardly read it anymore. God damn cataracts
What if you have to go to the bathroom like REALLY bad?

It is a GREAT idea, but the design of this unit it the MAJOR handy cap for this product.

can you jump off heights like in portal?
I personally wouldn't suggest people who are physically able to use this as a regular basis, since using this walking assist device means that your leg muscles are putting out less effort, so wouldn't your leg muscles shrink?
I'm not a pro in science, but I'm just wondering :)
What happens if you want to sit down?
A sack scratcher is available as an option on the SE model.
