The iBot Mobility system is another invention of Dean Kamen.  The iBot is now being underwritten and developed by the Johnson and Johnson corporation.  The iBot is a stair-climbing wheelchair that has the ability to raise up and balance on its rear wheels so that its occupants may grab an out-of-reach object or have a conversation with someone at eye level. 

    Since the target population of the iBot would be the fragile and infirm, safety was an utmost consideration in the design of the iBot.  The wheelchair is virtually untippable when in balance mode.  The iBot uses many of the same control systems as found in the Segway Human Transporter.  The iBot is promoted as a device that will create access to place never before available to the wheelchair bound.

   The investment and research in balanced based robotic technology has proven to be of great value both in terms of greater knowledge and in the realization of products that can increase the mobility of the able bodied as seen in the Segway but also in the accessability given to the disabled as seen with the iBot.
