The Robot Works

Steady · Walker valet

Your walker, exactly where you need it.
Never in the way.

Steady is a walker assistant that follows you through your home, keeps your walker where you need it, and places it by the bed before you go to sleep — without cameras, and without taking anything away from you.

How it works

Steady works alongside you — room to room, all day.

Follows you

Steady moves with you through your home — kitchen to living room, bedroom to bathroom — so the walker is always nearby.

Parks out of the way

When you sit down to cook or relax, Steady parks itself about five feet away. Close enough to reach; far enough to not be in the way.

Returns on a gesture

A simple "wax-on" gesture brings the walker back to you. A "wax-off" gesture sends it away. No app, no voice command, no buttons.

~60%

of falls among older adults happen at home — in the rooms and routines most familiar to them.

3 in 4

people who fell were not using their walker at the time of the fall — even among those prescribed one.

Every night

Steady helps you safely go on your nighttime trips.

The goal is that you never have to think about where the walker is, even at 2am.

Checks for alertness

When you get up at night, Steady speaks to you to check for drowsiness — a quiet prompt before you take a step.

Automatic light

Steady lights up the room the moment you rise, illuminating your path to the bathroom so you can see where you're going.

Walker reminders

Steady reminds you to take the walker, especially when you're in a rush or half-asleep and most likely to skip it.

80–90%

of adults over 80 wake at night to use the bathroom — nearly 30% do so twice or more.

Weiss et al., Current Urology Reports 2011

2.4×

Bathroom falls are nearly two and a half times more likely to result in injury than falls elsewhere — making up nearly 1 in 4 serious ER falls.

Inoue et al., Injury Epidemiology 2016

63%

of toileting-related falls occur between midnight and 6am — vs. 17% of non-toileting falls in that same window.

Steady companion app showing a clutter-free score and walker-use trend over the past week

The app

The full picture, without daily check-in calls.

The Steady companion app shows walker-use consistency over time, floor-clutter trends in the rooms where falls most often happen, and fall-risk habits — so families have the information they need without having to ask for it.

No cameras

Steady navigates using small tags on the walker and cane — not cameras. Your home stays private.

Flags trip hazards

Steady notices floor clutter in your regular paths and flags it in the app so you or a family member can clear it.

Who is Steady for?

Older adults who use a walker or cane and want to stay independent at home — and their families who want peace of mind without having to take over.

When can I get one? How much does it cost?
