Robot Assist Walker RT.2

Please call an attendant for the demonstration.

RT2 is a walking assist robot that makes it easier for those who have difficulties in walking.

Just by gripping the handles, it can support walking according to the user’s walking speed and the angle of the slope.

This robot is equipped with a sensor that can detect if the user's hand is on the controls, as well as sensors that detect the slope and condition of the road, and sensors that detect the operating environment. Based on the information detected by these sensors, the movements of the motor can assist walking by automatically switching between offering assisted movement in the direction the user is moving and applying the brake. The robot adds forward propulsion with a power assist on upward slopes, while applying the brake on downward slopes to appropriately slow the speed. This in addition to automatically stopping when hands are off the device allows the robot to support walking by adjusting appropriately to the situation. It is also equipped with a speech function, allowing it to assist with phrases such as, "There is a steep slope here, please be careful." When finished using the device, it also helps you by announcing the distance walked and by offering congratulations of a job well done.
