Capstone Project – Touchless Regenerative Door Opener
As the Product and Project Manager, I led the end-to-end development of a touchless, energy-independent door opener designed to improve accessibility and hygiene for high-risk individuals. I coordinated progress meetings with professors, sponsors, and stakeholders, while managing scheduling, communications, and team morale.
On the technical side, I personally designed all 3D models using SolidWorks and AutoCAD, fabricated and assembled the frame and components through 3D printing, and oversaw integration of the regenerative battery system, motor, and RFID/Bluetooth touchless control.
The final prototype operated fully independent of the building’s electrical grid, regenerating power through manual door use and supporting automatic opening via RFID/Bluetooth. This solution aligned with Ontario’s upcoming AODA accessibility standards, reduced installation and operational costs, and demonstrated a scalable model for improving accessibility in hospitals, universities, and public spaces.
