My idea for the final project is to make a mobile platform that allows mobility in confined spaces. A system, that helps people who are in wheelchairs to move comfortably through internal spaces. I have worked on several projects like this one and I want to develop another system.
This platform will be built by five modules. Four of these modules will be formed by a motor, a motor control board and an omnidirectional wheel. They will be connected to a central node.
The hub will have a board to govern the rest of modules, bluetooth board to connect with a mobile phone or tablet, and a battery. The platform will have a distributed system of nodes able to govern four engines. The omnidirectional wheels will gives us the three degrees of freedom that the platform needs to get almost any movement.
One idea that I hope to build along this fascinating world of digital printing.
