IBOT–The Robotic Device Promise Mobility For The Handicapped

Recent technological advances are slowly improving wheelchair and EPW technology. Some wheelchairs, such as the iBOT, incorporate gyroscopic technology and other advances, enabling the chair to balance and run on only two of its four wheels on some surfaces, thus raising the user to a height comparable to a standing person. They can also incorporate stair-climbing and four-wheel-drive feature motorized assists for hand-powered chairs are becoming more available and advanced. The popular Segway Personal Transporter is a mobility device that was a direct outgrowth of the development of the iBOT wheelchair. The Segway, which is basically an iBOT with two wheels removed, was developed explicitly to increase the number of units produced and take advantage of the economies of scale to make the iBOT affordable to wheelchair users. The iBOT as the most thoroughly tested, studied and sophisticated device ever manufactured for the disability community. The arrival of the iBOT will create greater awareness of the importance of providing equal accessibility to every person with a disability. The iBOT is impressive. it is like a Ferrari. It has advanced technology, and some of that technology will no doubt be adopted in the future.
