Project Description Heading link
Over the course of a school year, a team of Engineering students at the University of Illinois Chicago collaborated with a start-up company called Bubble Health. With the progression of technology, many companies have brought up inventions; making life suitable for the elderly. Bubble Health, being one of those companies, is rising up to the challenge to create a robot for the elderly that may one day bring ease into their day-to-day lives. Creating such a robot capable of many tasks requires the assembly to be split into components that are worked on individually first and then assembled together when all the components are done. In retrospect, a space compartment will be attached to the medical robot, allowing clients to store any medications with the security of a lock. With the aid of team 22, a sole task was asked to generate a locking mechanism that operates to their ideal medicine cabinet. Having a lock in place will prevent anyone who is not the main user denied access to the medications. This is an important task because Bubble Health wants to assure its customer clientele that the robot will not cause serious harm to unauthorized users, specifically children who attempt to open the medication cabinet.
