Beyond wheelchair customization, Rory's team explored autonomous functions, such as object recognition, enabling robots to assist with daily tasks like picking up objects, eating, dressing, opening doors, and shopping. Cameras equipped with sensors recognize the environment and help the device perform complex tasks, reducing reliance on human assistance.
This push toward automation signifies a broader mission—to develop intelligent systems that empower individuals with disabilities to live more independent, fulfilled lives.
