Project Overview

Our project involves the design of a device capable of covering the distance from a wheelchair to an elevator call button in the x, y, and z directions, then exerting a horizontal force sufficient to successfully push the call buttons in both the standard elevator car and the corresponding hallway. The mechanism must either be directed by infrared signals (to be later integrated into a voice-controlled adaptive technology system) or be controlled by another stimulus generated by movement no lower than the user’s neck.
