A team from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) has unveiled a groundbreaking wearable robot designed to assist paraplegic individuals in walking, navigating obstacles, and climbing stairs.

The device, called WalkON Suit F1, is a powered exoskeleton that enables users to walk, navigate obstacles, and climb stairs.

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.

The Exoskeleton Laboratory team at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) said their goal is to create a robot that seamlessly integrates into the daily lives of individuals with disabilities.

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.
