Description

 

 

The purpose of the project was to design and fabricate a highly stable, semi- omnidirectional robotic walker. The walker was designed to operate on varying grade and multi-terrain surfaces, while being able to withstand typical environmental hazards. The prototype was designed to maintain the current generation of walkers demands and standards, while increasing the safety and mobility of the user. The walker was designed to be an active system, responding directly to the actions of the user through force-based input.
