There is an anti-wholesome quality to videos like this when you realize the price fixing and collusion in the medical equipment industry. It
really just becomes an insulting have and have nots discussion where the most vulnerable are disenfranchised.

Awesome idea, i hope it never gets a power surge.
Miork64
Here in America that’s gonna cost you $15,000.
kwyjjibo
$15k? That's cute... regular prosthetic limbs can cost that or more, I can't even imagine what robotic legs are going to cost.
Idk that was a wild estimate. I just know it’s gonna cost WAAAY more than it needs to.

Why does she find them laying around in the park? Did they walk there on their own? Is she stealing them? This is a case for robocop!
Ah robocop can’t come to the case... someone stole his legs.

EldredgeSolsong
Thats what the crutches are for. Move forward with one are it reads that and responds with a leg forward
Yukithemoocher
Not so much. It is useful if your damage permit you to move the legs. If you cannot, this device is useless
I am not doubting the usefullness but the video itself and questioning if the contraption acctually works or is just a work in progress
StandWithUkraine
Could be useful for those who rehab too.
This is why we need better battery tech yesterday! fuck big oil for keeping our future shitty for so long
HypnoJack
We live in a world that makes thinner and thinner phones rather than keeping the width and improving the battery with that extra space.

I give this 10years to be advanced enough that people don't need crutches another 20 until its a regular sight im so psyched for the future!

I feel like it’s capabilities aren’t something you could do much with besides sabotage. And you’d prob have to be plugged into it to do so
So at best it’s only vaguely fun as a neat prank as someone’s fritz out and they’re stuck

Well yeah. A car without gas or charge is just an oversized paperweight. What's your point?
Right. And more to the point: motorized wheelchairs and scooters have this problem too. That's essentially what these mechanical braces are.

This might make me a terrible person, but all I’m picturing is “The Wrong Trousers”episode of Wallace and Gromit.

"They" have to find the sweetspot. Cheap enough for lots of people to afford it, but expansive enough to make the biggest profit out of it.
Oh, like power wheelchairs that are 4-8x a fair market price.

So who needs it?

If medical is the only social thing, it's a benifit to all. Remember, insurance is just a more expensive way of saying social care.

Kings levied taxes. And kings weren't socialists. Seriously this meme needs to be stamped out. It gets in the way of progress.

You wouldn't be super keen if you saw the price tag

If you told Karl Marx while he was still alive "so all you're saying is taxes should be used to help people" he'd fucking stab you.
Can we resurrect him for a few stabbings, just to thin out the dumbfuck crowd a little?
