MEBot demo: simulating outdoor terrains

May 11, 2020

The Mobility Enhancement Robotic Wheelchair (MEBot) tackles curbs and challenging terrains. The large center driving wheels can reposition themselves to simulate front-, mid-, or rear-wheel driving. The four smaller caster wheels move up and down freely and independently.
This video demonstrates how the seating self-leveling function allows the seat to stay level across all slopes and terrains.
