Samsung is not limited to making smartphones and other mobile devices. The company is continuously exploring paths in the tech industry to add a new growth engine. Samsung is also preparing to introduce Walking Assist Robot for humans later this year.
According to PulseNews, Samsung has recently filed a series of robotics patents in the US, such as those involving walking assist robot and pet machines. The patents, filed with the US Patent and Trademark Office, include a robotic technology that can monitor pets’ movements and detect their emotions.
“Samsung Electronics is projected to unveil a walking assist device later this year,” said a source from the electronic industry.
The company has filed a patent for a walking assist robot designed to be attached to the human body. The model is said to be part of BotFit, a prospective healthcare robotic brand of the tech firm. The robot offers walking assistance to users, mostly the elderly or people with limited mobility.
It is designed to move according to pre-programmed routes. The latest technology developed by Samsung features a seamless and safe operation even in case of communication loss caused by a device error. The robot has two fingers, each with sensors to detect and grasp objects.
