UBTECH robotics happens to be a worldwide leader in AI and it has introduced its breakthrough robot, the Walker at the CES 2018. This is a biped trademarked robot. It is meant for commercial purposes...
I love how designer Manuel Hess put it… “a walker doesn’t have to look like a disease itself.” Harsh but SO true! His proposal for a walker, called PROSUS, ditches the stigma and is instead designed with dignity in mind.
It takes inspiration from both sport bikes and modern furniture, applying the same sleek design language to the walker. Unlike “medical” looking walkers, this one totally looks Professor X worthy!
Other innovative features make it functionally advanced as well. Built-in LED safety lights offer enhanced visibility to other pedestrians or even motorists. The upright position of the handles ensures better body posture. Brake controls are conveniently located in the handles and only require a twist instead of a strong grip pull for greater safety.
It might not be relevant to you NOW, but one day, there’s a good chance you might need a walker, my friend! The unfortunately reality is that most of today’s walkers are… well… hideous. But, just because you’re old and decrepit doesn’t mean you don’t care how you or your walker look! That’s the idea behind Iris.
The Iris walker was designed with as much style as functionality. It’s lightweight, easy to use, easy to fold, and completely practical all while having a slim silhouette, tasteful colors, and a fashionable built-in bag for any goodies you need on-the-go. Unlike those big, bulky, grey contraptions, it erases the stigma associated with aging and failing mobility.
