Honda’sfirst forayinto robotizing old peoples ’ haunch looked pretty tamed , but this new one , on which gerontology are supposed to hop on like some kind of meat prize , feels like a glimpse into a horrible , dystopian time to come where up is down , right is wrong and grandmas and grandpas amble through Sears on mechanized rectal steeds alternatively of walker . The auto , which I ’m 90 % sure is just the missing half ofthis Battle Droidfrom Attack of the Clones , is more a peaceful support gimmick than it is a readiness of active robot limbs , though it does have a small electric motor . Details are a chip sparse for the time being , but Honda claims that the legs transparently reduce the strains of walk , standing and crouching , and should be “ as easy to use as a bicycle . ” The AP reporter who got to quiz the robo - legs had this to say about them :

United States of America will not be specify to assisting mobility for seniors . Honda lay claim that one of the most virtual employment for the legs would overreach factories , where workers may have to get into repetitive , uncomfortable posture . The machine is still in its experimental stages , but Honda plans to start testing early models on its manufacturing plant workers as presently as next month . [ HondaviaAP ]
