OTOTAKE PROJECT

At present a physical disability may indeed be a disability, but in ten years’ time this may no longer be the case.

What if we create technology that moves exactly like the human leg to enable people without lower limbs to walk, and even run, like everyone else? If this can be achieved, will having no legs even be considered a disability?

There is little doubt that we are moving towards a future where everybody will be free to move their bodies without physical restraints.

Our aim is to make this future a reality by expanding the possibilities of the human body through robotics.

A perfect union of Hirotada Ototake, born without arms or legs, with the very latest technology. This is the essence of technological and human potential.

The OTOTAKE PROJECT is ready for activation.
