The Scalevo wheelchair is a student project started in Summer 2014 at ETH Zurich. #ETHZ
The wheelchair is electric powered and balances on two wheels while driving on even ground. To climb and descend stairs or overcome bigger obstacles a set of tracks can be lowered dynamically to keep the user level at all times.
The driving speed on the stairs and balancing on the ground demonstrated in the video will be increased after further testing.

Lots of people are complaining that this thing is slow, but imagine if you are not physically capable of walking, "rushing" to any places is probably the least of your concern! Keep up the good work Scalevo!
What if its a
Doctors apointment for leg surgery.
I don't know about you, but I know about me. My ideal wheelchair doesn't climb stairs
Your kidding right I have my wheelchair going the max legal speed all the time. I've got places to be. A 15min walk can easily become and houer in a chair. Disability slows you down enufe you dont want your mobility devices making geting from a to b even slower. Not to mention everybody staring at you while you just have to sit there.
@@theillogicalpunk5752 Right? My wheelchair goes 6 mph, but people can definitely walk faster than that! It takes me at least an hour just to cover a 3 mile distance (sometimes shorter or longer depending on traffic)
@@JerrBear81 exactly. Where I am legally your chair cant go after than 4mpa which infuriates me. You can go up to 8 on a road but my chair cant do that besides I wanna get the but I wanna get there alive and roads where I am just arnt equipped for that. I never thought I'd miss running for a bus but I kinda do. Not even the running but just the geting there bit.
The look of joy on his face brought tears to my eyes. That could be any of us, at any time. And when he popped up to look at the view! Amazing!
This is AMAZING!!! A person that needs to go up or down stairs that for whatever reason isn't able to, this is a lifesaver! This would enable someone to go to museums, parks, homes, any place that isn't wheelchair friendly or requires another person pushing them up the wheelchair ramp. Not every person has the upper body strength to push themselves up a ramp And not everyone has an electric wheelchair. BEST INVENTION I'VE SEEN!!!;;
1.58 True happiness on him, that he can climb stairs without anyone's help.
Kudos guys.
This is a very awesome wheelchair and it must be exhilarating for wheelchair-bound people to be able to climb the stairs by themselves...job well done for all involved in the design and manufacturing of this marvelous wheelchair!
Great invention! Way to go! As a wheelchair user, watching this video makes me realize that in no time everywhere will be accessible for me. When there's no ramp, no elevator it's always such a pain in the a$$ to wait for someone to help you know.
This is such a good step in the right direction. Wanna see more bad ass tech like this for people with mobility needs. Keep this up
I love how stylish the chair looks, and the functionality really fills a void for those who use wheelchairs, but damn, the sun can rise and set by the time you go up a set of stairs. I understand that it has to do this methodically, especially when you consider the types of people on wheelchairs, but that was just painfully slow. Other than that, amazing job! You guys should be proud of yourselves.
M Saez It's also about the principle of the design. You won't go from standard wheelchair to perfect rapid stair-climbing chair, but it's going in the right direction (I know there are other chairs with rotating wheels that climb stairs, but this particular caterpillar track design is the first I've seen)
M Saez Looked a bit slow at the start but once the entire track is against the stairs, it seems to go faster. And who knows, maybe it can go faster but they went slow here for testing purposes, or maybe they have future plans to make it faster.
Have you ever heard 'function over fashion'?
@@morgancalvi6675 That's my sentiments, too...I can't imagine wanting to go too fast because there could be a bad accident waiting to happen climbing the stairs too quickly. I noticed the rider had to tip himself skywards a couple times and I'm guessing it's to prevent the rider from slipping out of the chair...I would want a seatbelt to ensure no accidents happen.
Words are not enough to thank to those who r behind this wonderful innovation
It's priceless how amazing technology can be!! It's simply beautiful to see people's life changing for better. Great work!!
Show me technology then.
First to those that are critical of this chair, if you are unable to walk and unable to climb stairs or steps then you would be thankful. There aren't always ramps or other means available. There are still places that aren't wheelchair friendly. Ten years ago I had pretty much the same attitude about people in wheelchairs. But that all changed when on October 5th, 2006, my daughter was injured in an automobile accident which left her paralyzed from the waist down. And living in a area where hills and steps are common place a chair like this or anything similar would be wonderful.
+Zula Zaboomafoo Just like a moronic comment I red, someone complaining about how slow it climb the stairs. I guess that person thought it should climb the stairs at 10MPH. Sorry to hear about your daughter.
Can I buy this I'm in England
@Diane Quelch Not for now, unfortunately. Go here to pre-order/contact the company. scewo.ch/en/preorder/
It's to be released at the end of 2019 in Switzerland.
the ibot wheelchair does this though
This thing is just what I need.. Compact and the possibillities of getting up stairs to visit friends and family. I hope it gets produced
Very impressive work. Out of curiosity how does it handle going down stairs?
I guess the other way around...
I was thinking the same thing.
It handles going down stairs very well. Just like going up. You go in reverse to line up with the stairs and start going up. To go down the stairs its similar. Except your facing the stairs when you line up. And then you start slinding down once you've moved foward enough.
The smile on the user says it all. That's the most important outcome for this entire venture. I salute you.
Amazing ! A wonderful idea and concept ! Good job, guys ! And thank you for caring for the others !
Mega! Unfassbar was ihr da geschaffen habt! Danke 🙏
Amazing. It gives a new ray of hope to those using wheelchairs. Thanks
Awesome to see what mankind is able to do and invent. Great work!
This is just incredible. Good work!
The smile on your face is worth a million. May god bless you brother!!
You guys are doing great and this is some amazing work of engineering! You’re a great example of the amazing people at ETH
Hey there, thank you so much for the awesome feedback.💙 Means a lot to us!
this is great! really love the look of it, can't wait to see future iterations of it :)
Function over fashion onesimpleclik...function over fashion. What if there were something on fire? Just burn up???
Now this is a "step" in the right direction! Well done.
Cool. A nice piece of engineering.
The chairs design is very well made and it looks graceful.
Hopefully these will available and fordable for those who would need them, in the near future.
This is really fantastic - well done, I hope this technology makes it to production!
Tremendous. I didn't think it was possible. Feel proud.
Well done: Congrats from Canada
Paul Nesbitt Thanks a lot! from Switzerland ^.^
Great design and execution
Este tipo de cosas son las que me motivan para estudiar mi carrera, cambiar el mundo y la vida de las personas mediante la ingeniería. Tiene que ser una autentica maravilla trabajar en este tipo de proyectos, y en este concretamente. Muchísima suerte
Porfi necesito saber si este tipo de silla son disponible en España
Great movie! Great wheelchair! Great work!
Louis Voellmy Thanks! This means a lot!
awesome idea! Big respect to you all :)
This is really cool. I think the only thing you could ask more from a wheelchair is to be able to climb stairs forwards, but even not being able to see forward while climbing stairs must really help empower people to access areas that they haven't been able to in the past.
Technology is so amazing it’s giving back independence to the ones who lost their independence which is totally beautiful
Amazing product idea, nice video which shows the benefits! Great!
This is too cool guys, great job.
AWESOME! When I first saw this vid I thought I was going to see another one of those stupid kind of Segway wheelchair type things but this thing actually ROCKS!
I walk just fine and I still want one!
This is so amazing!
That stair lift chair is brilliant!!
Awesome Work!
Amazing!!! Good job
Great work!
Magnífico, de imensa utilidade. Parabéns!
Amazing. Great product! (if not just an idea/prototype still). And remember people, things can & do get improved/fixed (if/when necessary)
C'est génial, félicitation!
Good work
bravo! great invention my friend!
Great work.
Great idea - fantastic discovery and will be very helpful to all those who are not able to walk God bless the inventor
simply awesome!
Brilliant Design!!
This is awesome!
God bless you guys.
Very cool!
wow this is amazing ...
This is pretty awesome! The other climbing wheelchairs I've seen, bump the person around while climbing each step. This has a nice smooth ride. Could it also be used as a stander?
Faith in humanity restored! Finally a group of people who are not about to invent weapons and things that earn a lot of money but make humanity suffer. Kepp up the good work
great job!
Great product, inspirational actor
Awesome invention.
it only takes a half hour to climb up ten stairs ! good concept tho X)
Jod Life We can climb stairs currently at a rate of 0.2 step / second. We are now increasing the speed "step by step" to get up to 1 step / second. To get faster than that we would need to use bigger motors.
oic...i can only suspect @ the pace tech is advancing it will only get better and faster and lighter
Jod Life still better than not being able to at all.
Raijin1506 all i'm saying is the price performance most likely doesnt equal out, as most new tech is. Nothing is wrong with it, but was jus commenting on it, they make it look amazing and ground breaking. Which is it dont get me wrong, but is it efficient even for someone middle class in a wheel chair...i doubt it. It is very cool and i can't wait to see future models.
Jod Life well with how health care is now a days someone can get a motorized wheelchair fairly easily, and i dont think this model is anymore advanced, just added innovations, but nothing technological mind blowing from a normal motorized wheelchair, so i would assume that once they streamline this for production, or sell to some corporation, most anyone would be able to afford one through insurance, and or since we have to pay for everyones health costs even people with no disabilities like obesity can get one with little or no cost to them.
Excellent...
I've seem some great designs for new wheelchairs, and this one has just jumped straight to my top three for its class. As always some chairs are better at some things than others, and there just isn't a chair out there that can "do it all" But this chair is pushing the envelope in that regard.
It would be nice to see a more integrated stair claiming operation where the chair maintains level seating through the whole duration on its own while you just hold control to send it up or down. Also being able to go up or down just a little faster would be nice. Not too much for safety sake, but faster than it did in the video.
Keep up the awesome work.
If Im ever in need of a wheelchair, this is the one I would want :)
So does it work on proper indoors stairs or just these less inclined outdoors ones?
Like, even if you're orthopaedically challenged and/or your spine is hosed, you can get around with this totally awesome machine. It could also have wonderful autonomous and robotics applications. Way to go, babe!
The rollout video from our Scalevo stair climber project.
Scalevo Great work!
Scalevo Awesome job!
+Scalevo Question for you. What about Down Stairs. everyone is happy to go UPSTAIRS but what about going back down?
ahhMyHeadahh it can go downstairs as well. The same mechanism... We will post another video showing that in the near future. :)
+Carlos Gomes Martinho MAs a user, much more trepidation would face a user going down than up ...
Really needed that drone footage of him on the stairs thanks
Hi there, what do you need it for?
10 hours later..
he finally made it!
i actually want one of these just for fun and that tail light looks sick
That’s brilliant
Cool wheelchair
Rollout video for the Scalevo stair climber project.
trop fort ! bravo............................
Now that's certainly people who have been listening !!
Congrats! Nice invention :)
Tep8u Thank you!
Scewo Its price?
Amazing
awesome
FAbuloso, muy bien bolado.
I've had the same design (Segway+Tank Track) in my mind for a while as the best idea sofar short of Exoskeleton.
The music reminds me of alternative rock and 2006. Ahh good times. Remember Circuit City?
Essa sim eu estava precisando de uma!
Very good
that is absolutely awesome. i can only assume that the next step is to get it to climb faster than the speed of smell.
I'm not in a wheelchair, but I feel better knowing if something really bad does happen, there are cool solutions on the horizon to help.
UoU 🙏👏👏 I Need This! My wheelchair never climbed stairs... Congratulations, God Bless your life greatly! [SCALEVO]
P.S.: I'm from Brazil, come here also sleep about 40 million disabled people, invest here too!
Great invention, as are many of the other innovative chairs. In this one the speed of stair climbing isn't much issue. I've always thought it would be great for the person to be able to go up facing forward. Maybe I just haven't seen it yet. My thoughts are on the active balance system when not climbing. While cool, it is a battery sucker. My wife's chair goes for 2 or 3 normal days between charges depending on our activity level. I would imagine the extra drain would change your battery management.
Enhorabuena :)
totalny niewypał !!!
Cool!!
"AWESOME" and no matter what, there will always be those who complain, in this case that its too slow, but for those who need wheelchairs to get around this is truly awesome and gives them the freedom to go wherever they want without having to ask someone to help or bypass areas where there are stairs. So for those finding fault pull your heads in and imagine if this were you - grow up and be grateful for your limbs.
That is EPIC! You guys will be rich, and it will help soo many disabled people in need. :)
Ben Landry Thanks for this compliment! This really means a lot! But our primary goal is not to make money but to participate at the Cybathlon challenge in 2016!
Scalevo Good Luck with that!
can you tell me about the type of motor(brushed or brushless) you have used, & why you don't use gearbox instead of using two motors?
Freakin’ IMPRESSIVE!!!!
I like this a lot. As a paraplegic who has been bound to my wheelchair for pretty much my entire life, it's a great thing you're doing. Although, I'm the type who prefers pushing myself with my arms (as in an ordinary wheelchair), when not needing the stair climbing ability. Your chair (in the video) doesn't seem to support that, or does it?
What i'd really like to see is the option to be able to manually push myself whenever possible, when not needing the stair climbing ability. Maybe if you could modify the hind wheels of the chair for that to happen?
Love the concept. Especially the seat belt and the head/tail-lights! I have one question though. Why are all the 'wheels' running all the time. When it drives on the belts, the big wheels still turn around and vice versa. Doesn't that make it consume a lot of power for nothing, or are they connected to the same motor?
This is amazing! I think that you should implement a way to move the chair if the batteries ran out, because that could be a pain..
Trop bien
My firs thought was of the treads eventually wearing out with constant use and eventually that is going to cause a staircase accident.
There's a TH-cam channel called squirmy and Grubs and Shane would benefit so much from a chair like this .just watched a video with them visiting Poland and Shane's fiance had to push his heavy wheelchair up stairs.
Looks cool. How big and heavy does it go up to? Do they make really heavy duty ones?
Du lourd !
