Sam Schmidt, a paraplegic former IndyCar race driver, was able to drive again using only his head motion after Arrow customised a Corvette.
Arrow and its partners devised a system in which the driver wore an infrared-sensor-equipped racing cap. When these sensors were combined with cameras, the system was able to track the driver’s delicate head movements in real time. The driver directed the car by staring in the desired direction. A rotating actuator on the steering wheel received data from the camera and sensor, which was interpreted by the processor.
The driver would lean back in his seat and tap the headrest to command the automobile to accelerate in 10-mph increments. A rotating actuator mounted to the gas pedal caused the car to respond immediately. The driver bit down on a sensor between his teeth to brake, sending an instruction to a rotary actuator attached to the brake pedal. These are some examples of the innovations and cool things which Arrow Electronics is working on.
