Inspiration: Sparked during a Rotaract visit where I saw elders struggle with mobility.

Funding: Secured a ₹1,00,000 innovation grant (IEDC) among 40+ competing teams.

System Design: Four high-torque wiper motors, Arduino Uno, and LiFePO₄ battery pack for hip/knee actuation.

Fabrication: SS304 motor casings and AISI 4130 frame, fabricated with milling, welding, and tolerance checks.

Control: PID-based gait routines, dual operation modes, ultrasonic safety homing.

Validation: ANSYS stress/torque simulations, ergonomic mock-ups, and supervised lab testing.

Outcome: Functional prototype demonstrated assisted gait, paper published at MULTICON 2020.
