The Chariot Which Lets Amputees 'Stand Tall And Walk'
Amputees and people with difficulty standing could soon move using a 'wearable transportation device' that gives the effect of walking. Exmovere Holdings from Virginia, USA, has unveiled a self-balancing, hands-free concept vehicle called the Chariot, which is controlled by subtle movements of the lower torso and hips.
Sensors inside the cocoon-like shell of the vehicle interpret gentle pressure changes from the wearer's body to predict their intended motion and carry out the action.
