Argonault is an organization with the objective of introducing high tech products in the mobility assistant field. This products help handicapped persons to make their lives much better. Allowing them to do some actions that otherwise would’ve been impossible to do.
This company is working in a new type of wheelchair called StepRover that is really diferent from a common electric wheelchair. This one will have the capacity to adjust to any kind of terrain or obstacle.
Here are some capacities:
• Autonomous climbing and descending on different level surfaces.
• Independent loading with non-converted minivans.
• Transportation of the user in any posture, from seated upright to fully recumbent.
• Transition to required positions, including fully horizontal, within the minivan.
• Disabled person’s unassisted transition to their bed and toilet.
• Stable movement at high speeds.
This project is still a concept but it’s going to be under development in a few months, now let me show you a video of how it would work.
