Elevator controller for individual with multiple sclerosis
Project Overview
Our goal this semester is to attach a specific device, capable of exerting sufficient force to press standard elevator buttons, on a battery powered wheelchair. We must integrate the controls of the device such that the user can control it by movement no lower than the neck.
