Wasn’t this one of those things Dean (Segway) Kamen invented like 30 years ago?

Instead of transforming wheels, when are we going to move to some sort of AI-driven robot legs attached to a chair? Evolution has already solved this problem.

This is not a new technology, I’m not sure how practical this is at the moment given how heavy / bulky it is compared to how it would be otherwise, as well as how expensive the technology is.

The transforming wheels technology looks promising though, that could fundamentally change everything; whether it works in practice is really whether the wheels are load-bearing or not.

Whilst this is cute and really only a university research project. It’s always worth remembering there is a long history of tech companies coming in with their new wheelchairs with special features that are unmaintainable and unrepariable as soon as the startup failed which is usually pretty quickly.
