COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — U.S. Air Force Colonel and cadets near completion of “gaze assisted” wheelchair after nearly five years of working on the project.

The project, which began in 2018, was created for a group of seniors as their capstone project.
 
While the seniors working on the project have come and gone, Col. Brian Neff, a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, has remained the head for the project's entirety.

It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Indeed! The wheelchair motor controllers from at least one motor controller company (a former employer whose products range from wheel chairs to golf carts to large forklifts) use microcontrollers in their newest models, which are dedicated programmed computers. As long as the microcontroller used is flexible enough, the major design work is in the sensors and firmware to interpret and convert sensor input into appropriate actions.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.
