Honda have finally realized that developing and selling a complete
humanoid robot at affordable prices is going to take longer than they
expected when they invested millions of dollars in the development of
ASIMO. Now, Honda wants to take advantage of some of the technology
developed for ASIMO to build less complete but still massively useful
robotic devices.
As a result, a couple of days ago, Honda unveiled a new robotic leg
device which functions similarly to an exoskeleton but has a rather
different design as you can tell from the photo at the left. The new
device will be of great assistance for the elderly and the disabled.
