ISDN2001/2002: Second Year Design Project
Problem Statement:
"How might we enhance the convenience and independence of young individuals who are long-term wheelchair users during their daily necessary tasks?"
Proposed Solution
Multidirectional chassis with advanced maneuverability and autonomous navigation
This isn’t just about mobility
—it’s about independence, safety, and convenience.
