Technology is changing everything. And apparently, that even includes the way we walk. Shift Robotics is set to unveil its latest innovation in personal mobility: the Moonwalkers X. These are the next-generation robotic shoes.
The Moonwalkers, which went viral in 2022 as the “world’s fastest shoes,” aren’t just ordinary shoes. They attach over your existing footwear, transforming every step into a smooth, gliding motion. This nano-mobility device allows you to walk up to three times faster, combining speed with the natural movement of walking. But the new model comes with upgrades.
The Moonwalkers X represents a significant leap forward from the original Moonwalkers model. Each shoe is now remarkably lighter, shedding a full pound, a change that promises to enhance wearability and comfort. The advancements don’t stop at weight reduction.
Shift Robotics has executed a comprehensive overhaul of the Moonwalkers’ control system. This upgrade is about new safety and agility features—a crucial feature for the fast-paced environments in which they are intended to be used.
The target audience right now is businesses and commercial applications. Moonwalkers X are perfect in jobs like distribution, logistics, and warehousing. But who knows, in a couple of years we might all be wearing them!
