Soon afterward the Cornell University website was overloaded from downloads of the video and it rapidly appeared across the Internet. Nearly 700 people have posted comments on YouTube. artbeam has just posted the most recent and unseen version of the chair on this site. The actual chair is scheduled to be completed in a month or two. Stay tuned for more video releases and news about appearances of the Robotic Chair.
