BETTER THAN WHEELS
"Better Than Wheels" ponders potential wheelchair alternatives on the horizon and beyond. These ponderances are not limited to alternative devices that could replace wheelchairs, but may also include selected topics relevant to curative objectives.

Kanagawa Institute of Technology's Wearable Power Assist Suit, Cyberdyne's HAL, and Berkeley Robotics Laboratory's BLEEX have already demonstrated that a powered exoskeleton is a feasible, future possibility for some otherwise wheelchair-bound people.

There are few other designs on this page, take a look.
