Better Together

Your challenge is to create a tool, app, or resource that helps close a gap that causes people to experience inequality. This combination of humanity and technology should eliminate or lessen a systemic issue and educate the user so they can grow.

future wheel chair "PEOPLE THINK THAT THEY ARE DISABLED, BUT ACTUALLY THEY ARE DIFFERENTLY ABLED"

Summary

In short, the project is about developing a wheelchair for the handicapped, to help them almost completely rely on themselves. The project is divided into two parts, a special part for moving the chair in all directions by an omni-wheel, and in order to achieve balance in the chair, we used 3 wheels of omni and angle smooth equal to 120 degrees and it moves a rubber ball that has a specific design as it consists of hexagonal shapes so that if one of them is punctured Or there was a problem in which only this shape is removed, not the whole rubber. As for the other part, it is made of wheels like the wheels of a tank, so that you can move on the ladder easily.

How We Addressed This Challenge

The challenge we chose is better together, but before that, what does better mean together? It means that the more we become an equal society, it is better for everyone, and the more distinctions and racism between human beings are broken, half of the world's problems will be solved. Therefore, we must learn that the differences between us are what distinguish us from the last, so that people with disabilities are not disabled, but they are differently able .Therefore, our project is to develop the wheelchair to become more freely suitable for the handicapped, we want to give them the feeling that they are like other people and that their disability is never a defect and that they have the right to achieve their dreams like us. That is why we developed the wheelchair using two technologies which are omnidirectional wheel and DIY robot which help the disabled one depend on him self and move up and down stairs and the chair can move or drive in all directions in 360 degree

How We Developed This Project

First, the idea of the project came to us by a coincidence, as we used to love to help people for that. One day, we visited with a charitable association for people with disabilities or people with special needs, and we spoke with them and it became clear to us that they like us have aspirations and goals that they want to achieve, but they legitimize that their disability put a barrier Between them and between their dreams, so we decided to develop something to help them and hinder them, the feeling that they can do it, and after much research we decided that the light of the wheelchair, until now we have developed it where it can rotate or move in all directions and this will help the disabled person to move in the street safely Also, the chair is in something like a tank, but with a smaller size, which has the ability to move on the slopes, and that will help it start and go down the stairs, but in the future we want to develop the project so that it has the capacity to change into a bed with the push of a button and in addition to something like an open table Automatic when he wants to eat, and finally we want to add something like a light massage in order not to have spasms in the muscles of the disabled person and also to renew the fluid cycle so that he does not move and all this is so that the person with a disability considers that the chair is his whole life. he can sleep, eat, sit or even rest using it .

How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project

Firstly, as we all know, the earth is free of movement, as it moves around itself and around the sun, and this is exactly the idea of an omni-wheel, as it is a wheel connected to a motor and revolves around itself and directs inside it with small wheels that also rotate and all this movement is what helps The ball connected to it to move in all directions. On the other hand, we all know that space is very accurate and that any defect or problem in it may lead to a catastrophe and it is this in our project where we must be accurate in writing the codes just a small wrong letter that can destroy everything besides that we are dealing with electricity and materials The electronic device and any wrong connection may lead to the burning of the entire project
