Now I want you to imagine this as a wheelchair type device, carrying a paralyzed human. Of course calmed down a bit so the jiggly human bits don't break.

That would be wonderful, but I can just see law enforcement using them for crowd control during protests/demonstrations/etc. And of course the military applications would be virtually endless...
