Quality of Life Technology (QoLT)
As part of the QoLT project, I invented a robotic arm to assist paraplegic wheelchair users who had difficulties in handling an umbrella due to their reduced strength, especially when confronted with rain and wind blowing sideways. This lightweight robotic arm for an electric wheelchair can hold the detachable umbrella and mimic the tilting motion of the Nintendo Wii Nunchuck on the armrest, which can be intuitively controlled with much greater ease.
