Guardian Bots: Building Assistive Robots for an Inclusive World
Millions of people with disabilities, visual impairments, or mobility challenges face daily obstacles in performing everyday tasks. Assistive technologies can enhance independence, safety, and accessibility, but innovative, low-cost solutions are needed. In this project, students will design a prototype of an assistive robot using recyclable materials, focusing on improving mobility, task assistance, or accessibility. They will apply human-centered design principles to create a functional, empathy-driven solution that addresses real-world needs. Through this hands-on challenge, students will develop creativity, problem-solving, teamwork, and STEM skills while exploring the role of robotics in building a more inclusive world.
