Dean Kamen's Artificial "Luke" Arm - Segway inventor reinvents the prosthetic arm: "I've been able to do stuff with this that I haven't, seriously haven't, done in 26 years... uh, pick up a banana, peel a banana and eat it without it squishening... I can't wait to get one of these in a real environment, a home environment, and actually my wife can't either. She's going, oh yeah, I got lots of stuff for you to do."

Forget the Segway.
Let us praise Dean Kamen's iBOT Mobility System . While expensive and 'out-of-reach' for many -- his research and actions bode well for many disabled folks.
Let's hope that in the near future that costs come down and/or the government provides funds for those who can benefit most directly from Kamen's inventions.

If he had to hammer out the gyroscopic details with that stupid Segway first, well....I'm glad he did it. The iBot looks like a fantastic advance. Imagine being chairbound and suddenly you can easily be at eye-level at service counters and get up a flight of steps unassisted.

Wow... this (unexpectedly) got me a little choked up. I work with a guy who makes very cool ceramic, wood, and glass artwork with one arm and one prosthetic that, despite being a hook/rubber band/hunk of plastic combo, he wields as a pretty amazing tool. I started thinking about what he could do with that level of control and dexterity.
On the other hand, he gets to use his current prosthetic in some pretty cool ways -- picking up molten glass, for example. I imagine the robot arm would not put up with that for long.

Super-inexpensive water purification systems, wheelchairs that climb stairs and roll on sandy beaches, a prosethic arm - these are the kinds of things that only someone like Kamen could come up with, because they're not particularly attractive to corporate R&D.
And he's made a pretty decent chunk of change. He's showing that yeah, it is worth the investment to do R&D that will help people, but I get the sense that he'd do it anyway.

Thank you for saying that. I've often felt that the Segway backlash is a shame, because there was a window of time in which it could have become a normal and accepted mobility device for non-disabled persons, and so persons with certain disabilities would have been able to use them to get around without the stigma of being disabled.
Instead, they get around without the stigma of being disabled, but with the stigma of being a douche for riding a Segway.

Holy fuck, we are living in the future.
The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel.
"It's not like I'm using," Case heard someone say, as he shouldered his way through the crowd around the door of the Chat. "It's like my body's developed this massive drug deficiency." It was a Sprawl voice and a Sprawl joke. The Chatsubo was a bar for professional expatriates; you could drink there for a week and never hear two words in Japanese.
Ratz was tending bar, his prosthetic arm jerking monotonously as he filled a tray of glasses with draft Kirin. He saw Case and smiled, his teeth a webwork of East European steel and brown decay. Case found a place at the bar, between the unlikely tan on one of Lonny Zone's whores and the crisp naval uniform of a tall African whose cheekbones were ridged with precise rows of tribal scars. "Wage was in here early, with two joeboys," Ratz said, shoving a draft across the bar with his good hand. "Maybe some business with you, Case?"
Case shrugged. The girl to his right giggled and nudged him.
The bartender's smile widened. His ugliness was the stuff of legend. In an age of affordable beauty, there was something heraldic about his lack of it. The antique arm whined as he reached for another mug. It was a Russian military prosthesis, a seven-function force-feedback manipulator, cased in grubby pink plastic. "You are too much the artiste, Herr Case." Ratz grunted; the sound served him as laughter. He scratched his overhang of white-shirted belly with the pink claw. "You are the artiste of the slightly funny deal."

My understanding is that most people do need assistance to get up stairs in the iBOT; it's just that it's possible to get it up stairs, whereas with a traditional power chair, you're sorta screwed.
To be honest, I've seen a lot more utilization of stock Segways - or home-modified stock Segways - by disabled people than I have of the iBOT. Not the same user populations, certainly, but the Segway is affordable, the iBOT is not, and while the Segway may not have been designed with disabled users in mind, it's not hard to modify it for particular users.

Not necessarily. If I had one, I'd be able to stairclimb. It's a question of upper body strength and coordination: you need to grip handrails to help stabilize the chair. Read more here.

I don't see why persons with any disabilities would want to be associated with the lazy, but obviously the lazy are a bigger market. I mean the scooter is an alternative to driving for short trips, the segway always looked like an alternative to walking for even shorter trips. And thankfully scooters don't drive on the sidewalk.

Wood, the Segway is not a medical device. For it to be called a medical device it would have to pass FDA approval which is a long and expensive process. Also, DEKA sold the rights to medical self-balancing technology to J&J, so legally, Segway Inc. can't manufacture any medical devices.

Dean Kamen is awesome. My dad saw him at a recent convention in San Diego where he was one of the speakers. I made a joke, like, "Did he beg everyone in the audience to buy Segways?"
But apparently he was like, "Well, I'd talk about my company and what we're doing, but I only have so much time allotted, so I'm going to devote my whole speech to what I'm really interested in," which is his foundation that helps high school kids discover science and engineering.
Like Skorgu said, it's kind of hard to throw snark at a guy who does so much good in the world, Segway or no Segway.

When was that?
In the few days after release; if the media had gotten on board (pun intended) and published "hey, look, cool!" articles, and Leonardo DiCaprio was seen riding one (remember the publicity for Toyota when he bought a 1st-gen Prius?) they might be considered more socially acceptable.
It's sad, but the real-world usefulness of a product can be impacted and possibly diminished if the image it conveys is flawed, and only part of that image comes directly from the product itself -- after all, people think Scion xBs are trendy, but they're sold to a heck of a lot of older practical folks (because they're economical and roomy and practical and inexpensive.)
Instead, the hype machine got out of control before the product was released, and so the media said "oh, this is a disappointment" and so did everyone else. If the product was unveiled without the overkill hype, public acceptance might have been more likely. Think how successful the Scion xB would have been if it had been preceeded by months of "OMG it's going to do the quarter mile in 14 seconds and get 45mpg and hover!" media speculation.
The truth is, practical and useful machines -- even if they're overpriced -- have a place in this world, but when there's a narrow stereotype associated with them we all lose. At the end of the day, it's like the kid on the playground who gets frostbite because his peers say gloves aren't cool; nobody wins.

davejay, overhype doesn't give anyone the right to shove people off Segways (which happens apparently; I'm shocked). I don't think it gives anyone a right to engage in public mockery of others either.
Seriously, what skin is it off anyone's nose if someone rides a Segway? Who cares if their reason is "legitimate" or not.
The people complaining about Segways and how fast they go are probably fatties that take up the whole sidewalk and move at a snail's pace anyway....
