Honda has shown a remarkable growth in its robotic program. It has unveiled two robotic walking assist prototypes that could be put to a lot of uses. Unlike the full body strength of the Cybernatic Body Suit, these prototypes concentrate only on the legs. The first is a Stride Management prototype that helps the wearer keep the stride steady and consistent. The Bodyweight Support prototype is a bit more complex. It stretches from the waist to the feet and even has a built-in seat for the wearer. This one will not only help the impaired walk, but will also allow lifting of heavy weights. Honda will show these prototypes at Automotive Engineers (SAE) World Congress in Detroit later this month.
