South Korean researchers have developed a lightweight wearable robot that can walk up to paraplegic users and lock itself onto them, enabling them to walk, manoeuvre obstacles and climb staircases.

Researchers at KAIST have introduced the WalkON Suit F1, a groundbreaking exoskeleton robot that helps paraplegics walk, climb stairs, and navigate obstacles.

A team of South Korean researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) has unveiled a groundbreaking wearable robot, designed to help paraplegic individuals regain mobility. Lightweight and intelligent, the robot enables users to walk, navigate obstacles, and even climb stairs, offering a new dimension of freedom.

A robotic exosuit may seem like science fiction, but a team of South Korean researchers is turning the concept into reality. CBS News' Leah Mishkin explains how the new tech is helping people with disabilities walk on their own.
