Concept Wheelchair

2025

Disciplines: Industrial Design, Consumer and 3D visualization.

Issue:

Older users need to propelling manual wheelchairs requires significant upper body strength and can lead to fatigue, especially over long distances or rough terrain.

Design:

an electric, compact, semi-autonomous

wheelchair to speed up travel time

autonomus travel for wheelchairs

Background

The new concept

i envision the wheelchair as a smaller wheelchair that would semi-autonomously

take the person to their desired location, without the need to physically move and self charges on campuses and malls.

A futuristic vision

We sought to accentuate the semi-autonomous function of MOV by embodying optimized disassembly, fewer parts, manufactured by 100% renewable energy, made with 1/3 of secondary raw materials with a lower carbon footprint.

Functional Features
