NSK Develops Human-Assisting Guidance Robot

NSK Ltd. (NSK; Headquarters: Tokyo, Japan; President & CEO: Norio Otsuka) today announced the development of a robot able to assist people with mobility challenges, guiding them along a path of their choice while avoiding obstacles.

A wheeled robot newly developed by NSK can help mobility challenged users travel over flat surfaces, inclines and slightly uneven surfaces. Interpreting human intentions via subtle changes in force applied to hand grips that support the user, the robot autonomously selects and follows an obstacle-free path.

Integrating innovations in drive technology, visual-recognition technology and interface technology, this experimental robotic aid to human mobility points the way to future alternatives to wheelchairs, seeing-eye dogs and nursing assistants. It was on display at the International Robot Exhibition 2009, held at Tokyo
Big Site from November 25 to 28.
