THE ICT AND THE DISABILITY: Honda robotic legs

Tuesday, May 26, 2009

Honda introduced two devices in New York whose mission is to assist walking. One is a sort of belt that leads to two joints that help move the legs and the other is a kind of chair that bears some parallels to our joints and legs are fixed in the feet. Are still prototypes and are born of experience in development by Honda's Asimo. Their usefulness seems more geared to help people with mobility problems.

In recent times seem to multiply the news about robotic exoskeletons for assisting or improving the physical capabilities of humans, such as HAL Cyberdyne, the Rewalk invented by Amit Goff or the Raytheon Sarcos Annexes (more designed for military purposes)
So perhaps before seeing robots comprehensive look at human parts.
