Independence Technology is a division of the Johnson and Johnson Corporation.
INDEPENDENCE iBOT Mobility System
The INDEPENDENCE iBOT 4000 Mobility System is unlike any power wheelchair. Its combination of unique, innovative functions allows you to go places and do things not possible with any other single mobility device.
The iBOT Mobility System offers five functions: 4-Wheel, Balance, Stair, Standard and Remote. These functions allow you to climb curbs, or go up and down a flight of stairs. Raise yourself to look others in the eye, or lower yourself to sit comfortably under a desk, countertop or table. Travel over uneven terrain such as sand, gravel, or grass with ease and stability. You can even be transported in your vehicle while remaining seated in the iBOT Mobility System.
Discontinuation
Due to an inability to make the business model for the INDEPENDENCE iBOT Mobility System profitable or even reach a break even point, Johnson & Johnson ceased selling the iBot in December 2008.[1] Support for existing users will continue through 2013.
