The project

Project description.

Share this projectFacebookXLinkedIn
CIHANG helps older adults and people with limited mobility move through daily life with greater choice and independence. They can drive it with a joystick or select a destination and let it navigate. On its first drive, dual LiDAR sensors and RGB-D cameras map rooms and doorways; afterward, CIHANG plans routes and steers around people and obstacles. Its on-device voice system works without an internet connection and recognizes more than 61 regional dialects, varied accents, and slower speech.

CIHANG is also designed for the time between journeys. One touch folds the complete device in five seconds, with the seat, sensors, and display still attached. Its height drops from 880 to 510 mm, making it easier to store at home or transport by car. Rounded surfaces, walnut armrests, soft upholstery, and warm finishes help it fit into the spaces where people live. Together, these choices make intelligent mobility easier to use, take along, and welcome into everyday life.
