Honda has designed a walking assistance gadget, which they have been researchig since 1999. It weighs about 14 pounds. It's purpose is to help reduce stress on people's knees by helping them up stairs and staying in a crouching position. Japan's largest automaker plans to test this gadget with their assembly line workers. To use: a person places its seat between his legs, puts on the gadget's shoes, and turns it on to start walking. There is a motor-driven metal legs to assist the person in walking. The battery-powered device also has a computer and sensors that respond to the person's movements.

I thought this was pretty interesting but with robots humans are just getting lazier everyday.
