Agreement Date:
Nov 25, 2019 - Jul 31, 2020
Description:
Powered mobility devices currently pose safety risks to both drivers and others in the environment, as well as cause significant property damage. The aim of the project is to develop an intelligent module that can prevent collisions by automatically intervening. This device will supplement our existing obstacle detection system. It will provide new training opportunities to those who are learning how to drive by providing an error-free learning environment. In addition, it will widen powered wheelchair access to those who are currently excluded due to visual, cognitive, and/or motor impairments. This technology will expand our overall market size, and increase competitive advantage for any wheelchair manufacturers that we partner with.
