Background of Implementation It is said that in Japan, there are over 10 million people* who can still walk on their own but feel anxious about walking for long periods or going up and down stairs, leading to a decrease in opportunities to go out. In light of this situation, this project was launched with the aim of providing a new option that supports walking effortlessly in daily life and encourages a positive step towards walking. We aim to contribute to the expansion of opportunities for more people to go out and the improvement of their quality of life through the value of a new walking experience brought about by the wearable walking assist robot "WIM S".
