Since 2016, government subsidies have been available for the purchase of assistive devices for the disabled, such as robots with exoskeletons in Beijing. Low income and unemployed disabled people as well as disabled children under the age of 16 can enjoy 100% subsidy. Other groups with disabilities can enjoy up to 50% subsidies. A mechanism has been introduced to ensure high quality devices being supplied at the lowest price. Currently, 120 companies in Beijing provide 2,089 assistive devices in 84 categories. The list will be adjusted according to market demand and supply.
