💡Son Builds Walking Robot Chair for Father

The inventor behind YouTube channel JLaservideo created a walking chair for his father, who has used a wheelchair for 20 years due to multiple sclerosis. The chair uses a four-legged robot with wheels on its feet to step over obstacles and roll on flat surfaces.

Originally not meant to carry people, the robot was recalibrated to support his weight and keep balance. It is controlled like a large remote-controlled car, with simple commands and a programmed flip button.

The father can now climb hills, stairs, and cross a river-places traditional wheelchairs cannot reach. Though not perfect and prone to falls, it restored mobility to previously inaccessible terrain.
