The iBOT is a powered wheelchair that uses gyroscopic technology to provide multiple operating modes for varied indoor and outdoor terrain.

In its 4-Wheel Mode, it has only the four drive wheels on the ground, enabling it to handle outdoor terrain such as curbs, sand, and snow.

[6] The Segway PT, a non-medical device, was spun off during product development of the iBOT, leveraging the same core technology.

This lowering of regulatory controls allowed DEKA to revive the dormant iBOT and start development on a next generation product.

[7][1] The iBOT® PMD retains the same core modes of operation from the earlier generations, but is lighter, has improved seating options, and has updated electronics throughout.
