Research Project „inDAgo“PROTOTYPING SMART MOBILITY ASSISTANTS
WHAT IS „inDAgo“?
Together with partners, we develop a technical device that permits independent mobility for people with physical limitations. It gives older people in particular more freedom and flexibility, since they can reach their destination safely and without accessibility restrictions – despite limited vision, hearing and mobility.
