you can not ask for much more work at university. The product will be marketed by the iRobot, so you can not buy its online store. But it can be a major breakthrough in designing new robots. So far, the difficulty descending stairs, in which a robot is concerned, lies mainly in controlling the center of gravity and balance. They'll see if this Stair Climbing Robot serves as inspiration to other devices.
