PROJECT CHALLENGE
This project was for my Innovation and the Future of Mobility class in Fall 2018. The goal was to design a walking aid for the year 2035.
PROJECT APPROACH
The team spent the first half of the semester utilizing benchmarking, interviews and past projects reviews to gain insight on current autonomous technologies and how it is impacting people. The second half of the semester was spent developing concepts for an autonomous walking aid and storyboarding.
