Robot Legs

Interesting contraption. So, what advantage does this have over a wheelchair or scooter?

Robot Could Help Disabled to ‘Walk’ - Axistive.com - Assistive Technology News Website - Robot Could Help Disabled to ‘Walk’ - Assistive Technologies and Assistive Devices for people with a disability:


One possible advantage could be height. When I am in my scooter, people don't see me because I am below eye level. When I walk, people cut me off because I am slow. Maybe, with fast robotic legs, people would see me and I could cut them off?

I'm dreaming again...
