New mobility tech to keep an eye on: moonwalkers
Posted Le 18 janvier 2023
Available March 2023 ($1400)
Moonwalkers are being coined as the world’s fastest walking shoes. "Moonwalkers," developed by Pittsburgh-based startup Shift Robotics, are not roller skates. The battery-powered shoes can boost walking speeds up to 7mph and adjust to a user's walking pattern by using a machine learning algorithm. There are many faster ways to get around than walking, but Shift Robotics wants to improve that too. Their Moonwalkers shoes let you walk naturally while increasing your speed up to 250%. They’re far beyond ordinary roller skates, with the smarts to move with your gait and to stop naturally. You can even climb stairs in them.”

Something to keep an eye on.
