LOU'S CHALLENGE
Lou is an electric wheelchair user that would like a solution to help her pick things up off the floor, as most pick up sticks on the market are simplistic and lack the dexterity to pick up small objects such as coins as well as wider objects.
THE SOLUTION
Lou's teams have created two unique prototype solutions. Team 'Innov8tors' designed a 3 claw grip system that will allow her to pick up a range of items off the floor, while Team 'Designudden'sclaw' inspired prototype is interfaced with an extendable suction cup, magnetic flippers, a silicon grip and a leg lifter so Lou can pick up items and also lift and move her leg when required.
