Summary
This large-scale bicycle storage is an automated system which allows students to have their bicycles stored in a safe and quick manner and easily retrieve them via a smart system. The bike is placed on a specially designed cart, which is subsequently transported by a robot through the system and is parked it in a marked spot. At retrieval, the robot autonomously gets the bike and brings it to the owner. To make the bicycle storage feasible, solar panels are placed on the roof so that it fully self-sufficient. It evens provides a surplus of power which helps to quicker reach the break-even point.
The whole project is subdivided into eight elements. All posters are available for downloading on this page.
