New technology being created day by day and i think this one will come to use especially to aged people who can hardly walk up and down the stairs everyday. Some geeks at Waseda university have developed the WL-16RIII Walkbot which stands 1.28 meters tall (4 feet) and has a seat on top of a pair of mechanical legs. The WL-16RIII is powered by an Intel Pentium III processor at 850 Mhz and has a nickel hydrogen battery.

Cant really find any additional information over the web. I got this video from NewLaunches blog and they didnt hand up any link for this article. If you have any information, do let us know.

Update: Found one article on Yahoo News on this robot.
