Description of the Opportunity: 

**Project Name:** Helpee

Helpee is a remote-controlled robot designed specifically for individuals with disabilities, allowing them to assist others while operating from the comfort of their homes. These robots are deployed in malls, hospitals, airports, and other public spaces to help people with various tasks, such as shopping assistance, providing directions, securing personal belongings, standing in queues, and more.

Helpee operates as a SaaS model, where users pay for the service to have a robot and a remote human assistant help them for a specified duration. Essentially, it acts as a personal assistant on wheels, enhancing convenience and accessibility for everyone involved.

Additionally, students involved in this project will be responsible for researching in depth about career possibilities for people with disabilities and creating educational content (blogs & posts) for social media to raise awareness and promote inclusivity.
