The Phoenix i - The Worlds First Smart Wheelchair. Protoype chair!

* 2024 UPDATE* This is a prototype chair from 2020 which won the Toyota Mobility Unlimited Challenge. Adjustable COG is a feature we are still developing. This feature is not available on the Phoenix i Hybrid which will be released in 2024. The Phoenix i Hybrid features our integral front wheel power assist. Check it out here: ORIGINAL TEXT: The Phoenix i is the first ever wheelchair to Intelligently configure itself on the move. The i adjusts its COG (centre of gravity) to stay in sync with the user’s COG. At all times the i maintains minimum weight through the front wheels reducing drag for vastly easier pushing and turning. Leaning forward or sitting back the chair will respond with the user so it won’t over balance and tip. If you hang a heavy bag off the back of the Phoenix i the chair will know and will adjust the centre of gravity so the chair doesn’t become tippy. The result of intelligent centre of gravity is a chair that feels completely in sync with the user pushing it. As finalists in the Toyota Mobility Foundation #MobilityUnlimited Challenge we are striving to see SMART wheelchairs become the norm. We believe SMART technology is going to revolutionise the wheelchair in the same way it has done for the phone. Find out if the judges of the Mobility Unlimited Challenge share our vision and award Phoenix Instinct funding to put the first smart wheelchair into production.
