PULSE.Byline: Kate Zuparko INDEPENDENT TECHNOLOGY: For those with disabilities, independence can be limited. So Independence Technology has introduced the iBOT 4000, the latest offering in its iBOT Mobility System designed to provide greater levels of freedom for people with disabilities. The iBOT 4000 uses built-in computers and motion sensors to maintain balance and has five unique features to enhance user mobility. The Balance Function elevates users to eye level; the Stair Function lets the machine climb up and down stairs; the 4- Wheel Function allows users to travel over a variety of uneven terrains; the Remote Function lets the device be driven unoccupied; and the Standard Function enables users to operate the machine in the same way as other power chairs. The latest model also has a more accessible power button, swing-away foot rests and two seat options. The device costs $26,100, and current iBOT 3000 users are eligible for a free upgrade.
