Elevating wheelchair concept |
Here’s a design that should help those who have trouble getting around. The design is smart. In fact the Elevating Wheelchair concept is smart enough to go from sitting and standing like a transformer.
The electric-powered wheelchair could also serve as a vehicular concept at some point in the far future, but for now we would be happy to see the disabled using this in the real world. It would give them more mobility and independence.

Deka Research & Development has developed the iBot wheelchair which performs a similar operation using its wheels and keeps the user in a sitting position. Last I knew it was undergoing FDA approval for its ability to go up and down stairs!
