Singh's design features a dual-track system and AI for navigation

It uses a dual-track system to switch between stairs and uneven ground, plus self-balancing technology for extra stability.
Sensors and cameras help it map surroundings and avoid obstacles, while artificial intelligence steps in when things get tricky.
The best part? There is a simple one-button control for climbing stairs.

The wheelchair is expected to be available in a few years

Singh's prototype is still being developed, with support from government grants.
He has applied for a patent, and if all goes well, you could see this wheelchair hit the market in the next few years.
