Hi Dilwyn,
Well, thinking of the Asimov robot, there is a new exoskeleton which can
help paralysed people walk, go up stairs etc (was on the news earlier
this week, made in Israel I think). The solution for Norman might be an
Asimov he can sit inside, tell it where he wants to go, then sleep
like it or hate its tempting :) hmmm two trumpcards or deposit on a C5 oops X1

I think walking is easier (8-)#
It may well be, but I'm lazy! ;-)
Did you notice how gingerly they used it, and they have been practising!
It is clearly not as easy as they make out.

A more relevant application of the same sensor chip (presumably) is for

and go up and down stairs.
