This is so cool. I'm a big fan of Honda's robotics products. Although this U3-X is not new, I don't know if people actually started using it.
From personal experience I know that Japanese car companies and producers are very strict about ergonomy at factories / production lines. I can almost see people working at factories using this to slide at the same speed with the product they work on, while mounting things and tightening the screws etc.
Oh, I almost forgot! ハッピーニューイヤー to everyone!
