UPnRIDE Robotics Overview
UPnRIDE Robotics aims to change the life of millions of wheelchair users by introducing the UPnRIDE - a smart robotic mobility device. UPnRIDE is far more than a wheelchair: It is the first and only wheeled motorized device, which enables wheelchair users to become mobile, while in a standing position, in practically any urban environment, both outdoors and indoors, and thus improves health, enhances self-esteem, and reduces medical and other disability costs. In February 2020, the US FDA cleared the company's Robotic Standing Wheelchair for marketing and use, making it available to wheelchair users and the elderly in the United States.
