Honda makes a crotch rest.

When I was a kid, I knew a paraplegic. I had the idea of having an exoskelton (but operated off brain patterns) to allow him to be mobile and more independent. I thought this was also a good my father who suffered a lot from Parkinson's.

Honda beat me to it. Damn you Honda!!! *vehemently shaking fist*

I can see it having an application for people who are partially disabled - back injuries, etc etc.
Whether it would be commercially viable I don't know, but Honda have the resources to develope such things, because we buy their bikes, and their cars, and their.........:)

No too sure that would be the greatest thing for old timers, with the depends and all :D

They have a full body one that you strap on behind you.

I'm going to get metal robot legs. It's a risky operation, but it'll be worth it in the end.

Grandma's boy, anyone?

The honda engineers never give up do they ...? [:-]

Yer... may be good for us in a few years to help us get up and take a pee mate ..;)
I wonder how hard it would be to mod a ride to suit it ?? :eek: hmm???

Six million dollar man on a pocket rocket :D

I didn't read any farther than this, LOL!!

Honda's first forayinto robotizing old peoples' haunches looked pretty tame, but this new one, on which geriatrics are supposed to mount like some sort of meat trophy, feels like a glimpse into a horrible, dystopian future where up is down, right is wrong and grandmas and grandpas amble through Sears on mechanized rectal steeds instead of walkers.

Gee, I wonder if the author thinks these are a good idea, lol!! :D
