VEHICLE COMMANDED BY HEAD MOVEMENTS
VEHICLE COMMANDED BY HEAD MOVEMENTS
When the project started, the only guideline was «Create a robot». But where to start? How to start? The first question usually answered by the designers is «What does the customer want?», but we decided to operate differently, the main question we wanted to answer was «What robot could be useful to people? What can we do to help ?». That lead us to the idea of creating a robot for handicaped people, we wanted to make a device helping to be more autonomous, a device that could be commanded by the head so that the user, crippled or not, does not have to use his lower body.
A useful purpose
The aim of our robot is to help people with disabilities. The robot moves thanks to the head movements, the user can thus get an object while not moving the rest of his body.
