The Honda walking device was developed for manual workers who stand, walk and stay in a semi-crouching position during the day. The device is aimed to reduce the load on leg muscles and provide natural assistance in many motions and postures. It’s also easy in use and has a simple structure consisting of a seat, frame with a battery and shoes.

The device weight is 14.3 lbs (6.5 kg), including the shoes and the battery. The rechargeable lithium ion battery lasts for 2 hours of use on one charge. It takes only 10 seconds to wear the Honda exoskeleton. The user just needs to put on the shoes and place his weight on the seat.
Like the first walking device with Stride Management System, the exoskeleton with Bodyweight Support System was developed based on long research of human waking and development of humanoid robot ASIMO.
