PurposeTo retrofit the PantherBot in order to give it the capability to open doors and press wall panel buttons, so that it can roam

autonomously inside the F. W. Olin Engineering Complex

Design Constraints• Safety of people, building and robot• Functional tools for tasks• Autonomous tool changes• Positive control of tools

• Secure storage • Store tools away from sensors and

access areas

ApplicationsDesigns such as the one demonstrated by this project have the potential to literally open doors for human accessibility and robotic assisting devices.
