The year 2024 may yet present us with yet another innovation from Samsung. According to the Sammy Fans news portal, which specializes in Samsung products, the development of “Botfit”, the brand's first wearable robot, has already been completed and the launch could be imminent.
From now on, it is important to clarify the functionality of “Botfit”, which aims to improve mobility, especially for an older audience. Through sensors, Samsung's wearable will be able to measure the effect of your actions. According to the same source of information, it is also highlighted that this wearable robot can be connected to a smartphone or watch.

After the product is developed, it is expected that the mass production phase can begin in the second or third quarter of 2024. Regarding the official launch, as previously mentioned, the end of 2024 seems to be a plausible estimate, although which could also come out in early 2025.
In this way, in addition to providing high quality technology, Samsung demonstrates its concern in investing in useful products for people with mobility difficulties.
It is expected to produce twice as many units as expected 2 years ago
Remember that Samsung's goal of designing a wearable robot has been going on for some time. As mentioned by Sam Mobile, the concept began to be imagined in 2019, under the name “GEMS Hip”. At the time, it was more destined to be a medicinal device, as if it were a type of wearable exoskeleton.
As for the “Botfit”, the bet seems to be incisive, especially because production is expected to be twice as large as predicted, in 2022. Although 100,000 units do not represent a very high value, it is much more than the 50,000 that they waited two years ago.
