Hoobox & Intel Unveil Wheelie 7 Kit
Enabled with Face Recognition Feature
In December 2018,
Hoobox Robotics, an AI-based technology startup based in Brazil, teamed up with
Intel, an American multinational corporation and technology company
headquartered in California, to develop the Wheelie 7 kit. It is a motorized
wheelchair that helps differently abled users in controlling it with simple
facial expressions. The wheelchair doesn’t require invasive body sensors. But
it uses a camera and AI to provide the users with complete control and
independence over their actions.
According to the
company officials, in the U.S., more than 60 people tested the AI-powered
wheelchair. Out of those, many are senior citizens, amyotrophic lateral
sclerosis, or quadriplegics. The company wanted today’s advanced technologies
to help people in regaining mobility and control their daily activities. The
new kit would enable those with limited mobility to move around by using
natural facial movements.

Geriatric Population Worldwide to Boost Growth
The number of aging population is
increasing rapidly across the world. In January 2018, WHO stated in a study
that the number of people between the age group of 60 years and older is
anticipated to outnumber children younger than 5 years by 2020. In addition to
that, the proportion of the world’s population above 60 years will double from
12% to 22% between 2015 and 2050. It proves that the aging populaces are likely
to be affected the most by mobility disorders. This, in turn, would propel the
wheelchairs market growth during the forecast period.
