Toyota joins Dean Kamen on wheelchair that climbs stairs
Wow! It is wonderful!
That's the basic idea behind the iBOT, a motorized wheelchair that has two sets of wheels that can climb stairs and handle more varied terrain than conventional wheelchairs.
Toyota says it is teaming with Segway creator Dean Kamen and his DEKA Research and Development to create a second generation of his iBOT device that could provide more mobility for the disabled. The agreement was announced at Paralyzed Veterans of America’s 70th Annual Convention in St. Petersburg, Fla.
“We realize that it is important to help older adults and people with special needs live well and continue to contribute their talents and experience to the world,” said Osamu “Simon” Nagata, executive vice president at Toyota Motor North America, in a statement.
Instead of two big wheels, the iBOT has two smaller ones on each side. Using the same kind of balancing for which the Segway is known, the wheelchair can extend up from a sitting to a standing height, allowing users to be about 6 feet tall. And it can use the wheel arrangement to go up and down stairs or over ground that might be difficult for other wheelchairs.
The iBOT was on sale for a few years in the past decade, but was discontinued, says Toyota spokeswoman Cindy Knight. The new generation promises to be lighter, stronger and quieter. The hope is that the license fees paid by Toyota will fund the the restart of production on an improved model.
