SAE Efficycle '24

SAE Efficycle '24

Efficycle is a versatile vehicle powered by both manual pedaling and battery-based electric power. Users can pedal manually without battery backup and even charge the vehicle while pedaling, making Efficycle environmentally friendly and less labor-intensive than traditional bicycles. Its unique tadpole configuration, featuring two front wheels and one rear wheel, provides enhanced stability on mountainous terrains compared to the conventional delta configuration.

Wall Climber Robot

Wall Climber Robot

Wall Climber Robot is a robotic system designed to navigate vertical surfaces and ceilings using vacuum technology and suction cups to adhere securely to various surfaces. They are primarily used for inspection and maintenance in industrial facilities and infrastructure, such as tanks, bridges, and high-rise buildings. In construction, they assist with facade inspection, painting, and cleaning. Additionally, they serve surveillance and security purposes for military, law enforcement, and search and rescue operations. These robots enhance safety and efficiency, providing access to areas that are difficult or hazardous for human workers, driven by advancements in robotics and suction technology.
