TALLAHASSEE (WTXL) - The Ibot wheelchair may be set for new upgrades soon. It was designed by the man who created the Segway and was created in the late 90s. It's a multi wheeled chair that allowed users the ability to travel up stairways, and elevate their height. Now, it was discontinued in 2009, but Toyota had pledged to help launch the next generation version of this hi-tech wheelchair. No price or release date has been announced.
The supercomputer that destroyed its human opponents in jeopardy is being recruited to help California save water. The computer, Watson, can track water use across the state at warp speed, taking only 12 minutes to scan 150,000 properties. With Watson’s help, it'll be easier to develop customized water budgets for cities and towns based on how much water houses, industries, and farms are actually using.
Brave beachgoers take a risk and rescue a tiger shark. It all happened this weekend at a Honolulu beach in Hawaii. The shark had two large fish hooks lodged in its mouth. The men pulled the shark from the water and worked quickly to cut out the hooks. Since tiger sharks have a "man eating" reputation, they put the shark back in the ocean as carefully as possible. The shark is now happily swimming with no hooks in its mouth.
