ABOUT THIS PROJECT

Our team was tasked bring an idea from brainstorming to a finished product with a projected business strategy. We came up with Auxilia!

Auxilia is a manual wheelchair attachment designed to alleviate physical strain and allow new wheelchair users to pass through doorways more comfortably. 

Made from Aluminum, Onyx (Nylon-Carbon Fiber Composite), and High Density Polyethylene, Auxilia is built to withstand daily use to make users' live that much easier.


It is proven to reduce strain in the shoulder and bicep, and it's collapsed profile makes it unobtrusive and adaptable to daily life.


Auxilia is Compact, Convenient, and Durable!

This team of 16 mechanical engineering students developed this product in the Fall of 2020 as part of our senior capstone class. Check out the details of the course on the class page, as well as our product brochure and final presentation slides below.
