iBot


Bill Clinton and Inventor Kamen having an eye level conversation with the help of the iBot

This invention is probably one of the coolest things I have ever seen. Having had a lot of contact with disabled people and seeing their struggles, this wheelchair offers nothing ever seen before. Mobility never thought possible out of a wheelchair: the ability to easily climb stairs and curbs, go up to eye level with other people, traverse rough terrain, and of course the regular standard wheelchair. This is a groundbreaking invention by the inventor of the Segway and I look forward to further developments on this mobility device.
