A Swiss company has developed the Lokomat, a
robot which helps semi-paralyzed and stroke victims learn to walk again. While in use, the lower half of the body may
look like ASIMO, as the robot wraps around the
user's legs and puts them through the walking motion at a comfortable pace on a treadmill. It has made some patients
relax too much and be a bit lazy (robotic assisted movement tends to do that to a person), but it saves two
therapists from hard manual labor when rehabilitating patients.
