RT.2 is RT.WORKS' lighter, more compact robot assist walker, launched in July 2016 and approved for rental under Japan's long-term care insurance; it gained ISO 13482 certification in 2017 and a Good Design Award. 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. A voice function announces steep slopes or low battery. It folds with one touch to 26 cm wide and weighs about 9 kg, so it fits in a car boot, has a seat for resting and a basket mount for shopping in supermarkets, and runs 4 hours on a compact battery with a 3-hour charge. It handles slopes of 12 percent (7 degrees) and cross-slopes of 5 percent, carries up to 5 kg for users up to 100 kg and is rain-resistant to IPX3. It comes in a standard size with six handle heights from 72.5 to 85 cm and a Tall size added in 2018, in red, champagne gold and space grey.
