This modular wheelchair attachment project is a comprehensive initiative aimed at improving standard wheelchair technology. This project focuses on developing a series of modular attachments to augment the functionality and safety of conventional wheelchairs. These innovative modules replace standard wheels with bicycle wheels for enhanced traction and durability, incorporate a chain and sprocket drivetrain with levers for efficient propulsion, integrate a reliable braking system to ensure user safety on various terrains, and implement anti- tip casters to prevent backward tipping on steep surfaces. The project encompasses thorough research, detailed design, rigorous prototyping, streamlined manufacturing, and robust quality assurance. Through this endeavor, a dedicated team of engineering students aim to empower wheelchair users, promote independence, accessibility, and a higher quality of life by providing them with cutting-edge mobility solutions tailored to their specific needs. This holistic approach not only enhances the overall wheelchair user experience but also contributes significantly to fostering a more inclusive and accessible society for people with mobility challenges.
