| | FDA Approves iBOT, Stair-Climbing Wheelchair |
| | In the pivotal clinical study, 18 patients -— mostly people with spinal cord injury -- were trained to use the iBOT and test-drove it for two weeks to allow researchers to compare maneuverability, falls and other problems to those encountered with their regular wheelchairs. | | | Two patients experienced bruises while using the iBOT. | | | Physicians and other health professionals must undergo special training to prescribe the iBOT. |

| | Not content with conquering curbstones and staircase, Kamen is still consumed by the challenge of mimicking -- and exceeding -- the human organism's natural abilities. | | | It performs like the human body -- using motors and wheels to do the work of muscle and bone, while a series of gyroscopes and electronic sensors carry out the advanced balance and positioning responses of the nervous system. | | | It is programmed to mimic what the human does without thinking. |

| | IBOT 3000 |
| | Since the iBOT requires the use of one hand to operate the chair by manipulating a joystick, in addition to judging what kind of terrain to avoid, doctors can prescribe it only to patients who pass a physical and cognitive test. | | | How can we explain the difference between our quick and cursory prediction of iBOT’s failure and the extensive analysis and testing done by JandJ which brought them to the opposite conclusion? | | | Like the Segway, to which it is related, the iBOT 3000 is a world-changing product. |

The technology is complex and, unlike other wheelchairs, will require a doctor's prescription and special training before patients can buy it. |

| | Review - Independence Technology IBOT 3000 Transporter Powerchair |
| | This assessment of the IBOT can't be a simple short review because the thing is so unfamiliar and different. | | | For an average paraplegic or someone with some upper body strength the IBOT allows you (or a helper if you have no arm strength) to go up any stair or step that has a handrail. | | | You may notice there are a few visible changes. |

| | The first clinical study was completed in 1999. | | | But after three years of Food and Drug Administration-ordered clinical trials, the agency has still not approved the device. | | | Johnson & wants to market the IBot as a physician-prescribed device, instead of a consumer device, so that it can be covered under many medical insurance plans, according to development information provided by the company. |

| | Wired 8.09: Breakout Artist |
| | One man asked how the chair works: "Does it just balance with weights?" Kamen - at eye-level with the guy, balancing on two wheels - paused a moment and smiled. | | | The Ibot is so stable in balance mode that its occupant can even win a shoving match with just about any human. | | | By comparison, Kamen's projects are far-out inventions, like the Ibot or the Stirling: grand in scope, slower in development, and often too risky to attract corporate funding. |

| | Slashdot iBot Self-Balancing Mobility Device FDA Approved |
| | The iBot, on the other hand, will vastly improve the quality of life for a large number of people. | | | Imagine the reaction of people to IBot if they had never seen the Segway, "You're going to give a wheelchair-bound person what?!?" Now, with the public acclimated to the balancing technology, the reaction will be one of amazement instead of concern. | | | This means that if someone is to become disabled through an accident, that they do not need to retrofit their house (or move into a new one) to continue to be functional. |

| | BW Online April 11, 2001 Introducing the All-Terrain Wheelchair |
| | The gyroscopes, in effect, emulate the principle by which humans are able to stand, balance themselves, and navigate around and through various environments and terrain by always offering a counterbalance. | | | Given the number of wheelchair users worldwide with the means to buy an iBOT, that goal is possible in three years, experts tell me. But the ultimate goal would be an iBOT for everyone that needs one. | | | So Kamen built the iBOT with gyroscopes that are programmed to create balancing capabilities based on an individual's center of gravity. |
