Remote control cart designed to help a client with post-polio syndrome transport items like her bedpan, laundry, and groceries within her living space. Includes a safety mechanism to manually elevate the driving wheels to make the cart free-rolling in the event of battery failure.
Designed the chassis and driving wheel elevation mechanism with a focus on modularity to enable future refinement according to the client’s physical limitations
Justified design decisions and funding requests to consulting engineers, administrative staff, and teammates using CAD models, bills of materials, and pro forma documentation
Established objective requirements for client satisfaction and safety by visiting regularly to understand use cases and challenges specific to her living space
