Manchester, NH · July 23-25, 2003.

Founded in 1982 by Dean Kamen, DEKA consisted of a relatively small group of individuals and lots of innovative ideas. DEKA’s mission, first and foremost, is to foster innovation. It is a company where the questioning of conventional thinking is encouraged and practiced by everyone—engineers and non-engineers alike—because open minds are more likely to arrive at workable solutions. See this thinking put into practice here.

The heart of the Segway HT and iBOT® Mobility System -- this is the circuitry that senses change in balance.

The original gearing was much too noisey, so it was replaced by helical gears.

For safety reasons, all components in the Segway HT feature redundancy.
