By: Talha Mohammed, Allen Thomas and Kirubel Atsmegiorgis
Talha Mohammed and his group of engineers came together and brainstormed ideas on ways to help disabled people to move around with not just their hands, but also with their heads. They were able to convert a regular wheelchair into an automated wheelchair that could help disabled people move around efficiently. Not only did they make the wheelchair automated, but also economically cheaper. The team used an accelerometer to determine the direction in which the user wanted to move towards. Forward, backwards, left, right you name the directions, they could move do it. The team did face many problems with movement, coding, and designing their project, but that didn't stop them, they continued to work hard and progress towards their goals. They were able to do this by splitting the amount of work done evenly. We once again left the coding to Talha Mohammed, gave the 3D model to Allen Thomas, and construction and project management to Kirubel Atsmegiorgis. Through sheer determination and hard work, they were able to complete their project. Even through some minor setbacks, with the help of their engineering teacher they keep that drive to work hard and create new concept.
This video thoroughly explains the process the team took to create the Wheelchair project.Â
