Hi Daniele
I am the mum of a five year old little
boy who is severely disabled. I am frustrated by
the lack of equipment to allow him a degree
independent mobility and freedom despite him being
immobile and partially blind.
I [...] wondered if some of that
technology could be incorporated with larger motors
and appropriate light weight seating to create a
SMART powered NXT wheelchair.
[...]
Ideally I would be interested in line
following options, possibly collision
avoidance[...] and maybe, down the track some of
the verbal command options. The current wheelchairs
out there are good, but so heavy and not suitable in
around other five year olds. [...]
Do you think it would be possible?
You can find pics of our son Mac on
Youtube.
