【News】 (Preliminary Report) Robust Increase in the Operating Number of HAL® (Lumbar Type)

CYBERDYNE Inc. sequentially released the HAL® for Care Support (Lumbar Type) and HAL® for Labor Support (Lumbar Type) last year, and has been focusing its efforts on promotion of the products. As a result, a total of 229 units of the two models of HAL® (Lumbar Type) newly began their operations in the first half of this fiscal year, largely exceeding the projections of 180 newly operational units for the same period. As of the end of September this year, the total number of units in operation reached 318, and is strongly increasing.

In the first half of this year, the implementation of HAL® for Care Support (Lumbar Type) in nursing care and welfare facilities have progressed beyond initial expectations. Recently, inquiries about implementing HAL® for Labor Support (Lumbar Type) in order to mitigate stress on the lower back during lifting, loading, and unloading work in warehouses have also increased. 

CYBERDYNE Inc. will continue to work on expanding the use of the two models of HAL® (Lumbar Type) and contribute to the improvement of work environments by reducing stress on their users.

The announcement of financial results for the first half of the fiscal year based on the performance of the entire company is scheduled for November 13th at 15:30 JST.
