Olivet Nazarene University (ONU)
As of late 2013, four senior students from the Engineering department at ONU are doing their yearlong senior project on a HWI DOTT trike based project. The goal is to allow quadriplegics and others to operate such a trike. If the user can think it, they can move it.

Cutie is Off to ONU
Cutie is the nickname we’ve given our compact trike. Today Kevin, Alice and Cutie went for a meeting at Olivet Nazarene University (ONU) in Bourbannais, IL. We met with two Mechanical Engineering Faculty members about having 3 senior engineering students use the trike for a senior project.The idea is to look at neuro-engineering and how a quadriplegic could maneuver a trike by EEG brain wave activities.
We dropped Cutie off and here is Cutie’s new home and new roommates

It’s possible that Cutie will outsmart any of us at HWI before the year is over if the trike hangs out with this team. We are excited to see the road Cutie takes at ONU. Kevin and Alice will return the 2nd week of September to meet with students and to answer any questions they might have at the time.
God is up to something and we at HWI are along for the ride.
