Anybody catch the segment last night on the robotic wheelchair. I think
it was on Dateline.
Watching it climb stairs was impressive, but seeing the chair stand
upright on two of its four wheels while the occupant caught a 25lb sack
of lead, all without the robotic chair even appearing to correct its
balance was amazing. The inventor must have one fast controller, lots of
accelerometers, and some very fancy code to do that!

| (...) Hrm. I wonder if things would have been different if the occupant had caught a 25 lb sack of feathers? Probably. -Kekoa (25 years ago, 2-Jul-99, to lugnet.robotics)
