Description

Walking assistance that helps the elderly and people with limited mobility to walk in an indoor environment and transfer from and to different house furniture. The walker is integrated with robotic arms that help the user to stand up from a sitting position which helps the user to transform a chair to a standing position. The design is influenced by indoor furniture, hoping the user to use this walker as a walking aid and a chair when it is not needed. The integrated chair will allow the user to sit on the walker as if it is a part of the indoor furniture.
