RT.1 is RT.WORKS' first robot assist walker, launched in July 2015 and described by the company as the world's first non-wearable walking-assist robot; it was the first walking-assist robot certified to the ISO 13482 safety standard for personal care robots. Sensors and motors automatically add power assist going uphill, brake gently going downhill, stop it pulling sideways on sloping paths and brake to prevent falls when it detects excessive speed, with the speed limit adjustable. If the user lets go of the grips on a slope, sensors in the grips detect it and the walker stops automatically. It handles slopes of up to 10 degrees. RT.1 also connects to the network over 3G and GPS: it logs walking distance, time and calories for health tracking, lets family see the walking route and current position, and sends an automatic alert if it detects an abnormal state, with these services offered through the optional OsanpoCare contract. It has a large seat for users up to 100 kg, a basket for up to 10 kg, a cane holder, five handle heights from 75 to 95 cm and one-touch folding to fit in a car boot. It weighs about 15 kg and runs over 4 hours per 2-hour charge.
