Some days ago Honda presented it’s new walking assist device.
The 6.5kg device – consisting of a saddle, leg-like frames and shoes – can reduce the load on users’ legs while walking or climbing and descending stairs by supporting bodyweight, Honda said.

The interessting fields of application especially may be rehabilitation and assembly work. But first the suitability for daily use (concerning the technic and of course the price-performance ratio) have to be proven.

And there is one associtation I can’t conceal: the Imperial All Terrain Scout Transporter from Star Wars!
