Letter: Walking with robots

Published 18 August 2001

From Glenn Sterenborg

Reading your story about the “robot nurse”
(28 July, p 22),
I wondered whether it would be possible to explore the suit’s potential as an aid for
physically challenged people. As a friend of mine is unable to walk due to a
severe back injury and is consequently restricted to a wheelchair, you can
understand my interest.

Has this possible use been considered?
