Modular Robotic Assistant

Wall Glider is a modular omnidirectional robotic assistant that is designed to navigate magnetically attached to walls while following a user’s position and actions. The robot has modular magnetic mechanisms that can be switched and adapted for the robot to be used for different purposes such as lighting, security, medical assistance, tool holding and even as a space exploration companion.
