The purpose of the project is to design and manufacture a door tug that is easy to use for people with limited motor function control and can be easily integrated into the lives of people with wheelchairs and service dogs. The students decided to create a door tug with a breakaway design that could be disengaged from the wheelchair while still being appealing for the dog to tug on. The system created was cost-effective, easy-to-use, and usable on a variety of doors.
