Exploration of robotic-wheel technology for enhanced urban mobility and city scale omni-directional personal transportation
Mobility is traditionally thought of as freedom to access more goods and services. However, in my view, mobility is also largely about personal freedom, i.e., the ability to exceed one's physical limitations, in essence, to become "more than human" in physical capabilities. This thesis explores …
