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.
