Video: Dean Kamen’s IBOT “Wheelchair” Power Chair

Tomasz Stasiuk June 30th, 2008

The IBOT is Dean Kamen’s on-road, off road, all terrain, stair climbing, power chair (”wheelchair”) which can also go into two wheel mode to raise the rider into a higher, more eye-level position.

It isn’t exactly new, but it is actually out in the real world; instead of being just some super cool prototype in a lab.

Here’s a nice clear, although in lab videos showing the features:

Here’s a real world video (poorer quality video but showing off road use):

How stable is it in two wheel mode? Oh, stable enough to go to the gun range! Seriously!

The commercial even shows it on the beach!

How much? Oh, about $26,000 according to the videos. Ouch! For more information, see www.ibotnow.com.

I love TED videos; the WOW factor of many of these is off the charts.  How about taking a $40 Wii remote and creating the equivalent of a multi-thousand dollar whiteboard, a multi-touch interface, or even a head tracking system!  I am just floored by the innovation!
