Toyota Resurrects Stair-Climbing iBOT Wheelchair
Toyota Motor North America said last week that it’s planning to resurrect the iBot stair-climbing wheelchair developed by famed investor Dean Kamen’s DEKA Research & Development company.
The deal calls for DEKA to complete the development and launch of a new version of the iBot, the Japanese auto maker said. Toyota said it will also license the balancing technology developed by the R&D firm for medical rehabilitation and perhaps other purposes.
