My questions (because the YouTube video doesn't show it):
1. What happens if the "chair" is at the opposite end? E.g. you're downstairs and want to go up but the "chair" is upstairs.
2. Is the step gap / velocity adjustable?

This seems too unpowered to be the best option in places with reliable electric power, and for places without reliable electric power, this looks too complex to be reliably repaired without a service infrastructure. And if you have that, you probably have reliable electric power. In short, it looks like a solution looking for a problem.
If you can use something less complex with fewer requirements that’s usually better. Do the simplest thing that solves the problem.
So pitch me, why should they fund it, when there are exoskeleton support systems in a lot of variety and price ranges I can use everywhere just around the corner?
I don't mean to be rude, but this is the type and tone of questions I sometimes get paid to ask.
I used to work a lot in health care. In the trenches as a simple grunt and later on in the etappe, IT. Lately still some work in BI for health insurance.

When my mom was dying from brain cancer, her final days of mobility were an incredible strain for everyone. This would have made life a lot easier. If she had a seizure, at least she would be seated. If she got tired, taking a break wouldn't mean potentially falling and getting hurt.

It's fundamentally different from an exoskeleton support system because it's a fixture of the building itself. It's a public utility, not a private suit.
The question was, why fund a system, that is intended to support, train, maintain and strengthen existing skills of physically challenged and not some others that may or may not be superior?
It's quite simple, people do it everyday. They ask themselves, what do I get for the money and why should I give it to them?
And you know that.

Absolutely baffling that they don't allow it to be viewed directly on vimeo.
...Almost as baffling as a video that is several minutes long and doesn't communicate in the slightest how the thing works.
