Product name: Toyota i-foot
Release date: TBA
Description: Toyota has found a futuristic way to help people with reduced mobility, by replacing their handicap with a robot that transports them where they'd like. Presented in 2005, this robot is yet to be released in a not to distant future.
Innovative features:
- Two legs to simulate walking
- comfortable and safe cabin
- bird leg structure that can bend to make mounting and dismounting really easy - fully controllable
Problems: it is too slow (1,35 km/h), too heavy and big, no information about its energy supply, what if it trips over an object and rolls over?; it will be weird to see one of those in our streets.
Price: TBA
Worth buying: Yes if you can afford it and if you're tired of a wheelchair. But probably wait for a better version which can go faster.
