Weighs 85 lb, but lots of great innovation evident guys!

Is this ready yet?

I'd buy this if they were made available! Brilliant!

Can I buy this? Where?

From where I can purchase

3 or 4 steps looks ok but that a long way from going up or down 12 or more steps like you could have on a 2 story house, we have 14 here, going up a few steps to get into a home is possible in different ways, but that only the begining

Two things: the height of the handles to allow for straight, upright walking and the weight of the unit which must be put into a car for travel.

This looks ok for people who only need to walk in straight lines!

Its getting there but when it goes up and down the stairs its motion isn't fluid!

The reaction time for the handle to level is toooooo slow and it not smooth. Mobility challenged people don not have time to hold on the machine for it to level off. They will most likely fall. Great concept but design and engineering is totally useless from the user's perspective. Please start from scratch and make something more usable for seniors.

Ok.

can only go in straight line. the front wheels do not turn left or right.

now try it at dordle door in dorset uk

7 years ago...where is the final?

Would love to use this product right about now. Had knee replacement surgery a few days ago.

matthew schell is this site still active. i have an idea that may use parts of this climbing chair 801 8155840 dave edwards

No one from the original team seems to be addressing comments or questions at this point so I guess they finished their project and have moved on? If this is the case perhaps you should turn off comments? Is this device still being developed? As presented it would be too dangerous but with some tweaks I'm sure those issues could easily be solved. The nature of the device of supposes that the users are strong enough and still mobile enough to walk up and down stairs assisted by this device. I think it's wonderful that a group of brilliant young minds would hunker down to develop a unit to help anyone who can use a walker independently solve the issue of climbing stairs. It would be such a shame that the project was put to rest after graduation.

How does it go up stairs when the step size isn't optimal for the device?

I think it would be more smoother, faster and stable if you convert the wheel into rubber tank tracks. God Bless!!!

well, looks like you are getting there with the concept. Now make it able to adapt for walking situations (like at a flea market, etc.) and able to handle grass, gravel, etc. I've three stairs to get inside my house and want to carry my own groceries in (via bins). I also actively garden and enjoy going to sales, events and hiking with my daughter. I need the ability to get up and down odd surfaces and roll over uneven places where my regular rollator gets stuck. I will keep looking at what you're doing!

the downside is that on uneven level surfaces the small wheels will make it difficult to handle for example the joints in sidewalks.

IT IS NOT SAVE TO USE THIS ! IT MIGHT CAUSE ANOTHER FALL , WHICH I DO NOT WANT TO TAKE THE RISK

Do the wheels turn

Is it full of cables? Dangerous! Great idea, but not very clear on how is charged

My professorrrr

SHARK TANK.

What ever happened with this? My son's friend who has MS has nothing to help him, my son carry's him on his back, and i'm so afraid he will get hurt.

wonderful invention is it yet available

Matthew what is the status of this project. Please answer even if you don't know!

Okay that looks damn scary. I think you could topple forward when going down stairs. It isn't as stable as hanging onto railings on both sides. Same thing for climbing stairs, I don't see how it is overcoming the issues involved with getting up stairs. Doesn't seem it is doing much of the load bearing. I think it is novel only -- not practical or functional.

Amazing, but too big for a bus. If it could be smaller it'd be perfect

Awkward, slow, crude looking, NOT for the handicapped. Sorry.

N

Too big.

You never really get a good look, just partial views, flashes, etc. Total waste of time.

Is this still a thing or... I would absolutely buy it.

I’m interested for stair climbing wheelchair. I would like to know the address, whom to contact and price please.

This is about BLARING MUSIC... NOT A WALKER.... IF I WANTED EDDIE VAN HALEN I WOULD TURN HIM ON IM GONE!!!.

This would be useful with toddlers with mild cerebral palsy... Is is available to the public? Definitely look into the child/toddler market for this product!

And it only takes as much room as a D9 caterpillar bulldozer to maneuver.......

❤️Lovely Proto type :-) I can’t wait to see it perfected 👍🏽.

Wow!! Great job guys!!

It's a great start, but probably needs a lot of revisions to work practically for most people really in need. You'd need to have various people with real issues try this out. You mentioned people could sit on this to go up or down stairs, but did not show that. I have a very hard time believing this is possible by these demos. I also find the movement of this multiple wheel -within a wheel- system appears slow and choppy. My experience with a back problem is every movement is felt right up the spine, and into joints, plus knees from degenerative bone disease [OA] - which is common - means a bit more than confidence is needed to climb stairs. Research with medical info could eventually revise this into a useful product.

my advice. hire a industrial designer, maybe its already to late, otherwise noone would buy it

Apparently during stair descent, no weight is being exerted on the walker. The person is simply holding the walker

Um although a good idea it is slightly awkward having to maneuver the button and handles at the same time to go down the stairs. Also a possibility that the seniors weight can be used against and they can flip over this device.. Seniors don't want to do that. It has to be very easy for them.

So, it's been 5 years. No sign of it on the market. Provisional patent up by now. Belongs to the school anyway, so you can't develop a business around it, right? Hope I'm wrong. Have relatives with serious need. Stair lifts are very expensive.

Any updates?

Can this be purchased?

How long is that cord?
