Deploying cybernics technology in response to COVID-19

「The new contactless home-based service for individual rental, Home Neuro HALFIT, uses a HAL monitor synchronized with CYBERDYNE's cloud to visualize bioelectric signals that command body movements, posture information and other data. This enables users to receive visual feedback themselves, while also providing remote online support from specialist staff such as therapists and trainers. The service is provided through the online store CYBERDYNE STORE, opened in November 2021, and had reached 441 cumulative contracts as of the end of December 2021.」

The service is provided through the online store “CYBERDYNE STORE,” which opened in November last year, and cumulative contracts reached 369 as of the end of September 2021.」

「The Company will continue promoting the adoption of “Neuro HALFIT at Home,” a new contactless home-based service in which HAL® is connected to the cloud, as a measure against frailty among older people during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the introduction of the next-generation cleaning robot “CL02,” equipped with disinfection functions such as disinfectant-spraying and ultraviolet-irradiation units.」

「As part of the full-scale rollout of the service, in November 2020 the Company made remote online support by specialists such as therapists and trainers possible through the HAL Monitor, which connects to CYBERDYNE’s cloud and visualizes bioelectric signals commanding body movements, posture information and other data. This enables users to receive visual feedback themselves. At the same time, the Company opened the online store “CYBERDYNE STORE” for the service, making it easier for individual users to access it, with cumulative contracts reaching 65 as of the end of December 2020. From February 2021, the Company began airing television commercials in the Kanto region and plans to further raise awareness and expand adoption.」

「In addition, in April 2020 the Company began providing “Neuro HALFIT at Home,” a new contactless home-based service. In November 2020, data connectivity with CYBERDYNE’s cloud enabled remote support by specialists such as therapists and trainers, and the service is expected to contribute to sales from the second half onward.」

「At the same time, the Company views COVID-19, a new social issue, as an opportunity for cybernics technology to contribute, and believes that changes in social structures after COVID-19 will accelerate the “cybernics industry” further. It is accelerating initiatives to integrate people with cyber-physical space under the themes of “remote,” “at home” and “digital.” Since April 2020, it has offered a new service enabling individuals to use “Neuro HALFIT at Home,” powered by HAL® Lower Limb Type for Independence Support.」

「The Group is currently deploying its cybernics technology across various fields, including cybernic devices for remote support even in medical settings with a high risk of infection (medical field), home-based programs for individuals to prevent frailty and locomotive syndrome while people are refraining from going out (welfare field), and disinfection and sanitizing robots equipped with the world’s most advanced autonomous driving technology for transportation infrastructure such as airports and stations (daily life and workplace fields).」
