Toyota's “pokémon” robotic chair

Toyota's “pokémon” robotic chair




Toyora surprised the world by presenting the Walk Me at the Japan Mobility Show 2025, an autonomous robotic chair that can walk, climb stairs, balance and even fold itself. The concept breaks with the traditional idea of ​​the wheelchair, replacing the wheels with four intelligent robotic legs capable of adapting to practically any type of terrain.


Inspired by animal locomotion, the Walk Me combines advanced robotics, high-precision sensors and artificial intelligence, resulting in a mobility system that mimics the way goats and crabs move on irregular surfaces.




Its legs can bend, rotate and adjust independently, guaranteeing balance and smoothness even on inclined surfaces, stairs or gravel floors. Before climbing steps, the front legs analyze the height, while the rear legs propel the body of the chair, all coordinated by the lidar sensors that ensure total safety for the user. If an obstacle arises on the way, the collision radars stop the movement instantly and the system readjusts the center of gravity to avoid falls.


The chair is powered by a compact and silent battery located behind the seat with autonomy for a full day of use and when the day is done, just press a button, the legs retract telescopically, the joints fold and the Walk Me transforms into a compact piece of luggage in less than 30 minutes, fitting in the trunk of a car or next to a piece of furniture.



Sorry for my Ingles, it's not my main language. The images were taken from the sources used or were created with artificial intelligence
