So. What's the point. It's slow, but is a HUGE and IMPRESSIVE tech behind it. I would like to see a handcaped people using this then you saying again it's "slow". :)
what if some 1 is infront of the guy in the chair lol can it move around it, and what happens if theres a crack in the ground does it have controls or does it work by it self
Lordy, people. Do you think things like cybernetic limbs and other such proposed medical wonders will just be found on some guys doorstep one morning? It's incremental research like this that paves the way for almost all such developments. It's not like the computer you are reading this on just developed overnight either, you know...
Yeah but if they find a practical way to develop this then people who used to have legs can still "walk" it's definitely not the same to roll...Walk and Roll -_-; Besides I've seen this thing go up and down stairs, which wheel chairs (and segways?) cant do...or not safely anyway.
I agree , waste of time and energy. balancing wheelchairs based on the segway are far more practical and far more energy efficient, i bet this has to be recharged every 10 mins.
Why bother? If you can't use your own legs, get a wheelchair. If you are lazy, roll around in a computer chair. This is a pointless waste of time and money.
It's an university project going on for several years, so it is not a waste of time nor money, japanese students are working on this project and learning in the process.

I think this is becoming an invention of too much lazyness.
If this will be a transport people will get more fat or even too fat.

if you cant use ur fingger to count, get a papper. Why invent stupid things like calculator or computer?

Because counting in 100000000s and 1000000000010000s isn't comfortable with 10 fingers and 10 toes.
