Honda Walking Assist Robot Video

Joshua Topolsky provides us with the first hands-on look at Honda's two new walking-assist devices. Basically, one "helps with correct stride and assistance for forward movement, and the other which is meant for supporting your weight while doing tasks that require lots of bending at the knee." Video after the break.

The former is intended to help the elderly, the disabled and those suffering from muscle or joint weakness walk more easily, and the latter is geared towards workers who are constantly performing leg and knee movements that can cause strain or injury.
