As of January 2009, the iBOT powered-wheelchair will be discontinued. This is unfortunate for the disabled community -- Dean Kamen and the others at DEKA (the same people responsible for the Segway and Luke Arm) developed an amazing robotic wheelchair that was (somewhat) unique it its ability to transition from a statically-stable, 4-wheel configuration to a dynamically-stable, 2-wheel configuration to give occupants added height. Further, by pivoting pairs of wheels, the wheelchair and occupant were able to dynamically balance while traversing stairs, not to mention the wheelchair's basic ability to traverse (relatively) poor terrain, such as sand and gravel! All of this was possible due to careful controllers and internal gyros (not entirely dissimilar to a Segway). Read further for discussion -- specifically about why this loss for the disabled community could be an opportunity in disguise for the robotics community and a big win for Kamen and company.
Update on June 20, 2016: According to recent reports, DEKA and Toyota are joining forces to revitalize the iBOT wheelchair. Details can be found here.
For those not familiar, the iBOT is pictured below in three "compelling" configurations.
On the left, the wheelchair is in its 4-wheeled statically-stable configuration, just like any other powered wheelchair. In the middle, the wheelchair has transitioned to a 2-wheeled dynamically-stable configuration to provide the occupant with added reach. On the right is the wheelchair dynamically balancing while traversing stairs. For the un-initiated, perhaps a video is a little more compelling:
So... I have always thought that powered wheelchairs had the potential to make great mobile robot base platforms. They are typically sturdy, well-tested, and designed for prolong (safe) use. Because of their large market (compared to domestic mobile robots), they also benefit from economy-of-scale in pricing (if one discounts exorbitant healthcare markups in the United States). Consider that I can walk down to a neighborhood thrift shop and purchase a used run-of-the-mill powered-wheelchair for $40 (I still kind of kick myself for not grabbing one of the three; I haven't yet seen another materialize) .
Anyway, it appears that as of January 2009, Johnson & Johnson's Independence Technology (a DEKA licensee) is discontinuing production (with service through 2013). This may be really unfortunate for robotics -- domestic mobile robots are just coming into their own, and a base that could traverse stairs would be a real boon. I think it would be a shame if DEKA dismisses the iBOT in its entirety -- dare I say a "failure" on Kamen's part.
Curiously, Dean Kamen came and gave a talk at Georgia Tech a year or two ago where someone from our group asked him about the iBOT as a robot platform. While I cannot recall his exact response, it was something to this effect:
Because of certain FDA certifications / ratings relating to safety, we cannot sell or distribute the iBOT unless you have a prescription and undergo user training. We really wish we could sell them to roboticists, but unfortunately, that would result in loosing the very costly certification.
Costly FDA certifications, indeed... the iBOT retailed for upward of $25,000 USD. Now that it is being discontinued as a medical device, perhaps it can be fabricated and sold for the robotics community instead (at reduced prices). After all, these could be just as useful as the various Segway robotics platforms that DEKA is (gradually) releasing, such as the RMP series of bases (i.e. the RMP 50 Omni pictured below left or the RMP 200 pictured below right).
Thus... we could either see the discontinuation as a lost opportunity (failure on Kamen's part) or as a budding robotics opportunity (win on Kamen's part). I guess only time will tell.
So, while I'm thinking about Kamen's GT visit some time ago, I might as well share one other interesting nugget -- Kamen was asked his opinion regarding dynamically-stable platforms versus statically-stable platforms for mobile manipulation. Curiously, he share's my (oft mentioned) view that the few added benefits of dynamically-stable platforms (form factor, instantaneous forces, etc) cannot match the benefits of statically-stable platforms (reduced complexity in controllers, behaviors, perception, etc). Perhaps this (partially) vindicates my opinions about having a nice support polygon -- the inventor of the Segway does not believe in dynamically stable mobile manipulators!

Hey Andrew,
I haven't heard any more news about iBot's discontinuation. I'll be sure to let you know if / when I hear anything new.
Hello,
If you are interested in buying my Ibot 2000 with low hours on it and in new condition please contact me. I know that I will never get the $23k+ that I paid for it, but I am hurting financialy right now and would accept any reasonable offer. It has been calabrated to balance at a persons weight of about 150lb - 180lb or so on the balance function. Please feel free to contact me with any questions that you may have.
Thank you for your time and have a great day!
Rick
Rick,
Is the IBOT still ailale and what is your location?
Hello!
Do you happen to still have the IBOT wheelchair for sale? Thanks!
~Shannon
Hello,
If you are still interested in purchasing a I-Bot 4000 wheelchair, I have mine for sale. You can contact me at rlinnabaryjr1@cox.net
As far as service is concerned I found a company that if you go to the following link it has video’s and contact information to a company that told me that they can work on them and they service nationwide: http://www.precisionrepairnetwork.com/videos/ and considering that Independance Technology has stopped supporting the chair this is great news.
Thank you for your time and have a great day!
I've had a beer with Dean Kamen and he is a human genius...a hero who cares about others. He is amazing and always looks at the "greater good" for all. His brains and character will insure that he will be etched in history long after he is gone. I hope bureaucracy will never scare him away from creating his awesome inventions.
This reply, I know, is a bit late to the thread, however, I felt compelled to reply anyhow.
As far as I have found, it was discontinued due to the price tag deterring sales.
Though I have found this information.
In 2010, one organization was trying to revive the manufacture and maintenance of the iBOT Mobility System. America's Huey 091 Foundation is an organization that provides advanced mobility devices, which used to include the iBOT, to wounded disabled veterans. The foundation's goal is to help revive the manufacture of a new generation of iBOT and if possible to manufacture, sell, and maintain some using a veteran owned and operated organization.
In 2011, Dean Kamen, the inventor of the iBOT, stated his support of America's Huey 091 Foundation's effort to reinstate iBOT production.

I know my Mom would have loved one of these.
Lacking new knees, applying for operation numerous years in a row, being told to wait 14 years by the VA to be eligable for an upgrade to artificial knees from her damaged natural ones, at 51 my Mother passed away.
Why the mandatory wait until 65 I'll never know, it seems a bit cruel to me.
After all, she wanted to enjoy her knees for dancing a little around the living room, while still having the energy to get down.
It would be nice to see the VA providing easier access to this type of assisted mobility if they are steadfast on making it nearly impossible to get 'replacement parts' (as my Mom called them) to walk without assistance.
Hopefully America's Huey 091 Foundation succeeds.
Hi I am intrested in your Ibot and I have tried emailing you I will email again in a while if I get no reply Glenn
Do you still have the iBot for sale?
If so do you have the battery charger?
Let me know.
Pat
Do you still have it?
Hello Jim, Is it still for sale?
Hi, I noticed your post from back in 2011 and just thought I would check and see if by chance you still had the IBOT, possibly for sale or knew of someone who did, thanks so much. Lester Dean
Do you still have your ibot for sale? How much are you asking for it? What does it mean when you say you're selling it for parts? My father has severe copd and emphysema so he could really use this to get his mobility around the house again.
Thank you, Mary
Hello Jim. Perhaps its a long shot but I would be interested in buying your ibot if you still have it. Regards, Sylvia

I would love an ibot... unfortunately I am totally dependant on UK state benefits as my husband had to leave his employment to become my full time Carer. An I bot would help me access the platform at my church to enable me to take part in services instead of me having to sit blocking the aisle at the foot of the 2 very deep stairs. There is very limited access for a ramp to be used.
Also an ibot would be perfect for the not so well ramped pavements in the UK! and I could also actually go shopping with my 4 daughters! what a delightful dream this would be!
It is a total waste of fantastic technology for people like me whose lives would be totally transformed with an ibot!
Oh goodness, my husband was shot in Viet Nam and has been in a wheelchair since he was 20 years old. He is now 61. We had been saving our money to purchase an IBOT for him but I guess this is not going to happen now with them discontinuing the sale of IBOT. It breaks my heart. We had such hopes for him to be able to get around and not be limited by his wheelchair. It's such a shame. He basically gave so much for all of us to enjoy the freedom we do and he's left limited by this primative, manual wheelchair he uses. How wonderful it would have been for him to be able to go out into the grassy back yard and toss a ball with out adopted 7 year old son! People who walk take it for granet all the hardships wheelchair bound people enfure. After he gave his back and legs, his left eye and the upper lobe of his right lung for our freedom, it looks like the government would do more to help assist these veterans in being as independent and make the remainder of their lives easier for them. I don't think Americans encourage our government to do more for our injured vetrans or vetrans in general. How can we stand ourselves? Allowing young men to not only be killed but live with such hardships and not provide the very best of everything to make their lives as comfortable as possible? Such a shame. This IBOT would have given him, pretty much his life back. He could do things he never dreamed he could do again and now, even that is taken away from him. WHY?? Why doesn't someone of means so something about things like this? Does anyone care?
B ecause the government consideres veterans a liability. who knows better (other than the ones who are behind thescenes calling the shots)than the people who were having to follow orders of their superiors whether or not it was the right thing to do, they had to. The government doesnt want them to extend their lives. their usefullness to them has expired. I am single and never married so I do not know 1st hand how you must feel. My 13yr old son is in wheelchair so that I do have personal knowledge of. The U.S gov has all the resources you could imagine so the question is ? How can they sleep at night? Look their own children in the eye? Their parents? How do they think they are gonn get away with this when it comes time for their eternal judgement? I heard the patent was bought out by us just to throw away and it looks to be so since by now nothing else has been produced. Until now I am so excited and cried the whole time and each time i watch the presentation for TECH ROBOTIC MOBILAZION DEVICE. I am scared to find out price but it finally deals with some of the severe problems associated with being in a sitting position for well I guess their life. Non-ambulatory people need to stand at least an hour a day for over all health. it is the reason why so many deal with bladder and bowel control and brain function because the flow of oxygen is not equel when you are comparing large amounts of time sitting to standing. A nd bed sore the list is too big but those are some of the biggies. I honor your husband and yourself no matter what my feelings are of our souless government entities. I think people who are in the branch of government concerning war should not be able to bei their positions unless at least one of their children are in the service and i dont mean in a cushy job. If their children were right next to your husband there would be a lot more peace time. thank you and bless you

I have had my IBOT for 5 years. wow how time flies. It is the best chair I have been in in the 26 years of my paralysis. I am very upset that Johnson and Johnson failed to continue this chair, but as you say perhaps someone can build a better one. It has been Transformational for me a 43 year old who has been paralyzed since he was 18. No more bounderies. I hope and pray someone will continue this or develop and better more cost effective one.
I always wanted a Delorean. Now I have one, called IBOT. The batteries are the biggest expense. 1100+ every year or so.
I want to preach all the physically disabled that there will be a great advanced WheelChair soon.
I've invented a new innovative mechanism that will enable them to easily up/down different stairs and move anywhere without any help from anyone.
I already design and implement a simple prototype of it, but it needs more support to be implemented in a fully shape.
It will be easy to enter the market with it in less than 2 years, and its price will be very competitive to other normal electric wheelchairs.

hola soy de chile y me gustaria comprar esta silla para mi hijo de 12 años si fuera posible que me indiquen como lo puedo hacer y cuanto es lo que cuesta esta silla seria fabuloso espero respuesta gracias de ante mano.
We started some years ago flying a 1965 Vietnam-era Huey helicopter with veterans aboard to schools to teach civics. Later, we donated our Huey 091 to the Smithsonian Museum of American History, Price of Freedom Exhibit, as the largest artifact of the Viet Nam War, as a tribute to the men and women who fought in Viet Nam and later wars (www.americashuey.com).
Next, we took upon a new mission - helping wounded disabled, mostly post- 9/11, veterans. After being persuaded by the likes of Tony Orlando and Mary Eisenhower, we amended our mission statement to include helping veterans from earlier wars (www.huey091foundation.org).
How do we help them? That's simple. We provided them with an iBOT(r) Mobility System ("iBOT") which is the only wheel chair that brings a person in a seated position up to eye level with a standing adult, using the same fundamental balance technology that Dean Kamen later would incorporate into the more commonly used Segway. The iBOT, taking advantage of this balancing technology and other advanced technologies, allows a user to climb curbs and flights of stairs without the assistance of others, bringing a freedom and restoration of capability not possible with other mobility systems.
The iBOT was brought to market through a partnership between Johnson & Johnson ("J&J") and Dean's company DEKA. Through this partnership, the launch of the iBOT brought this life-changing technology to wheelchair users throughout the US and Europe. When we became aware of the benefits of the iBOT, we made it a focus of our efforts to help our wounded veterans and have been able to change the lives of dozens of veterans by providing iBOTs to them.
Unfortunately, a challenging reimbursement environment has inhibited broad acceptance of the iBOT. In particular, the Center for Medicare Services determined that the innovative features of the iBOT - for example, the ability to climb stairs and raise the user to eye level - are not "medical necessities" and therefore not entitled to additional reimbursement. Despite significant efforts, J&J did not feel able to continue production of the iBOT in this reimbursement environment. J&J, to their significant credit, is supporting the current iBOT owners until 2014 (five years after production ceased). J&J is rare in its dedication to their biomedical customers. The end of this support is rapidly approaching, however, and with that support ending the current iBOT users will be faced with a transition back to a traditional wheelchair and our Foundation will not be able to provide this amazing technology to additional (and future) disabled veterans.
The good news here is that it seems J&J would love to see Dean Kamen's iBOT back in production and gave all rights back to DEKA. Now, we are trying to revive the manufacture of the iBOT with an all veteran run (perhaps veteran owned) organization.
Gary Sinise, star of "Forest Gump" and "CSI New York", a strong supporter of our military and often overseas entertainer of our troops with his Lt. Dan Band (www.ltdanband.com) has also been a very vocal supporter of our disabled veteran high-tech mobility, and in particular our iBOT efforts, as evidenced in part by the PSA Gary helped us with as can be seen both on our website's home page (www.huey091foundation.org) and on YouTube (www.youtube.com/user/huey091).
As a Viet Nam veteran, I am asking you only to take five minutes to view the attached and if you like what you see, contact us a see how you might be able to support our effort.
Hello Charles,
I am an Independence Technology iBOT 4000 Mobility Systen user and I accidentally stumbled onto this website. I like many other iBOT user was shocked when I found out that the iBOT was going to be discontinued. I have Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and have been able to be very independent due to the iBOT. I am the type of person that does not give up easily and think that the impossible is possible. I went to the website (www.huey091foundation.org) and saw that on the homepage that is a statement that says the Huey 091 Foundation is trying to get the iBOT to start being manufactured again. I have thought about that idea before and was interested in finding out if you are making any progress. I am currently getting ready by writing a letter to Johnson and Johnson to get information about who I should talk to in order to start trying to get the iBOT to be manufactured again. I am thinking that maybe we could team up and start a petition and get all the current and recent iBOT user to sign it. I am willing to work very hard to accomplish what your foundation and many other people are probably trying at this moment to get the iBOT to be manufactured again.

I am looking for an Ibot for my fiance who has been paralyzed for over 30yrs due to a gymnastics accident at the age of 15. Any help locating one would be greatly apreciated.
Axis Dance Company and my client would love to have an ibot. Any for sale?
I understand that this is because of a fatality. Apparently all gyros failed at the same time while the IBOT was negotiating stairs. The maybe a licencing issue therefore

If anyone knew the whole change a disable person faces MS has taken me back to bed. A chair like this would allow family a mother grandmother and homeless kids a place to learn what the world could be like. My home was always a soft place for teen agers to fall. Then MS hit and has taken away my ability to be up and able to help others. It made it so we could no longer help anyone I was to busy trying to find the emotional strangth to face every day. I saw a documentary obout this chair and just came online to find out how much money i would have to find get one and found out again hope lost. If anyone finds a product like this or there is one out there please allow me the information to find one.
Do you still have one of these if so please let me know how much it would cost to get life back. Thank you Angela

Since iBot service is no longer available, does anyone know where I can obtain a technician's or service manual. I have am error code which I had once before a few years ago. When. I called service, they ran through a step by step way to get the warning error erased. It is not in the owner manual, but there must be a service manual. It was a simple fix just by pressing a few bottoms in various sequence. Now when I turn on the iBot I have to silence the alarm. It will still go but will not go into 4 wheel drive. Can anyone provide any information? Thanks, -Tim

A sad day it is for owners of the IBot. J&J has turned over all rights back to DEKA and the company that did the service had to return all the software and specialized tools for repair of the wheelchair back to DEKA as well. The Huey 091 has posted that their resources were best used to help their main goals and not in expanding any further. However, they were instrumental in getting the IBOT downgraded from a class 3 medical device to a class 2. This opens the door for possibly getting a company to take on servicing the units. However, they must and can only get the service information and program from DEKA Industries. I would like to see if the previous service company would take on the job. Problem exists that no further parts are being produced for replacement such as the mainboards, gyros, gears and so on. All other user servicable items tires, tubes, cushions, etc have been sold already. There is a company that is remanufacturing the batteries at least. They can be found by searching for IBOT battery search on internet. I have had my chair since 2007 and it doesn't even begin to show signs of wear and would probably last another 10 years with proper maintainence. I am very causious about using the stair and balance functions any more because if something happens while in those modes, the chair could become a $21000.00 paper weight! This chair was built to last and the major reason it is gone is Medicare would not reimburse or consider coverage for more than about $6ooo.oo. To my knowledge that number was never a reality and because Medicare in all it's stupidity wouldn't cover it, most retail insurance companies denied coverage as well. My Blue Cross/Blue Sheild did cover it, but they were only plan administers and my company was self insured, so I was one out of about 1200 that got the chair through their insurance. As for resales, if the chair was owned by a person who weighed say 175lbs, in order for the stair, balance and 4WD to operate (safely) the new operator must weigh within 25lbs +/- the 175lbs or your money would be spent for nothing. Let's try to get a repair company started, then see about restarting possible sales. DEKA doesn't discuss their R&D, but a reliable rumor is their is an upgraded chair that was in testing phase just a couple years ago so maybe their is still a glimmer of hope? In the mean time I am using another chair for everyday use and my IBOT for special ocasions that require me to see "eye to eye" with others.
Hi Michael, my name is Tony, I saw the iBOT chair for the first time in Oxford UK yesterday and was blownaway by it. From the little research that I have done I guess the chair is no longer in manufacture. Could manufacture of the chair be restarted? Could this be done in the Uk?

I am a C4 who operates more like a 7-8, have been in my Bot for 6 years and find it instrumental in my work. I own a construction company specializing in concrete and framing. The 4wd function is in use nearly every day. I would guess that my chair looks more experianced than any other even with new tires and paint. I bought tires and tubes by the dozen when they were available. I have had batteries rebuilt post J&J and ordered light assemblies from the UK yesterday for a reasonable price. I am certainly worried about failure of another chassis, I am on my 3rd. or acontroller which has also been replaced. I would love to hear from the inner circle about what might be brewing so we all could have accurate expectations. There is always hope- our monta in many other areas applies here as well.

Hi iBOT community,
I am a T-10 complete and am having charging problems with my iBOT. The charger keeps giving me a red light error on one side of the charger. I have swapped the battery locations and it worked for one charging session then the red light error came up again on the same location as before. This leads me to beleive this is not a battery issue but a charger issue.
Has anyone experienced this issue? What was your solution?
Does anyone have a charger I could buy?
Is there a company that rebuilds the chargers?
Thanks,
I have new batteries coming fot hte ibot 4000 and since the replacement of the batteries is easiest when the chair is on two wheels and since I cannot get it up without adequate power, can someone tell me how to remove the seat and decking to be able to get the old batteries out and replaced with the new ones.
Thank you for your ideas and assistance

Update this fucking article. It's not discontinued, it was still in development.
@Anonymous, you are 100% incorrect. According to the product's own Wikipedia page, the product was discontinued in 2009. There are various efforts to revive the product, but it was not "still in development."
[Also, your comment is rude and you cowardly posted it anonymously. Please do us a favor and either own up to your ignorance of take your commentary elsewhere.]
Does anyone out there have an iBot they no longer need? It looks as though it would answer all my problems. I am paraplegic through MS but still young enough to want to get out and enjoy life . Jackie
Hi,
Obviously my comment is really late, but I did come across a couple wrench codes that some people said worked. Fortunately, I haven't need to try them. However, if anyone has found a decent repair place, please post it here.
