In ME1, you are beginning to develop knowledge of design, materials, and basic machine elements (e.g., power screws, bolted joints, bearings, gears). In addition, you are becoming skilled in CAD modeling, creating complex assemblies, animating linkage systems, and performing simple analysis of linkage motion. This project will focus on synthesizing a device that can provide human mobility. The problem statement is intentionally open-ended. It is expected that your device will provide the ability for a human to be in a seated position in one device configuration, navigate in space (across floors, down hallways, through doorways, etc.), and somehow reposition him/herself into a separate configuration to provide accessibility to previously inaccessible spaces and objects (bringing the person to the objects, not the objects to the person, as shown in the image above).
