Kim Yong-jae, CEO of Upobotics, presented a blueprint for the domestic robot industry, expressing his ambition to improve the walking ability of all citizens and extend the period of healthy life based on differentiated robot development technology. He also explained Weobotic’s unique robot technology that can safely interact with humans and introduced Wim, a new walking assistance robot developed using it. After the introduction of Ubotics and the explanation of Wim products, we had time to experience Seokchon Lake firsthand.
The Wim B2C product released this time is available in two colors, navy blue and light green, and in addition to the level walking assistance and exercise mode of the existing B2B product, a walking assistance function on uphill and downhill roads has been added. In addition, based on AI and big data, it collects and analyzes important walking indicators such as the wearer’s strength, balance, and posture, diagnoses weaknesses, and provides customized exercise solutions.
Wim provides powerful walking assistance capabilities despite its ultra-light weight of only 1.6 kg and its compact size for easy portability. Using the exercise mode, it helps strengthen the wearer’s lower body muscles by creating a ‘sense of resistance as if walking in water’, supports aerobic exercise and strength exercise of appropriate intensity, and reduces metabolic energy by an average of 16% when the wearer walks uphill or downhill. , By reducing the impact load on the knee by about 13% on average, it helps improve walking ability, muscle strength, endurance, and walking posture.
Recently, as the problem of lack of exercise among busy modern people who spend most of their time sitting has emerged, wearable healthcare devices that help with customized exercise are in the spotlight. Wim helps correct walking posture for students and office workers who suffer from chronic back pain and disc disease due to poor posture habits, and provides high-intensity interval exercise that burns a lot of calories and strengthens physical strength in a short period of time for modern people who do not have enough time to exercise. Support.
Wibotics opened the Wim Walking Exercise Center so that consumers can become familiar with and directly experience wearable robots, and provide in-depth consultations with experts such as sports instructors, exercise managers, and physical therapists, as well as exercises optimized for each individual’s health status and exercise goals. Provides programs.
Kim Yong-jae, CEO of Upobotics, said, “Upobotics, which means ‘We Innovate Robotics,’ is a wearable robot product for the public that can be comfortably worn and enjoyed in everyday life. “We propose a new paradigm that goes one step further,” he said. “We will continue to welcome the era of one robot per person and become a company that continuously innovates for the safe coexistence of humans and robots and the healthy lives of all people.” .
