For Disabled, I-Transport Rises to the Occasion

Description:You wouldn't know it by looking at him but, Chen Chien-chia is a paraplegic. He's been wheelchair-bound for eleven years but now he can stand upright like anyone else ... thanks to a robotic device called i-Transport. "When I sit in a wheelchair to go to places with a higher reception counter, it is inconvenient to speak to people. The advantage of this machine is that I can stand up and directly converse with others, and this is convenient." (1:52)
