It could be unsafe for the visually impaired to train themselves to walk even with the help of assistant people. It could hardly be possible to eliminate the probability that they might fall down or bump into something. "Walk training simulator" is to be developed, which has a bipedal robot and utilizes haptic. The visually impaired are to be able to experience real walk training safely and repeatedly without any assistant people. It is certain that this simulator will help them to train themselves to walk in advance, safely, in a short time and effectively.
