Drawing of an asymmetrical, teal utility truck, with one large wheel at the front center and a smaller one at the back. The truck is divided into two rectangular boxy sections, a raised enclosed section for the driver with a grey seat and black steering wheel, and a larger enclosed, windowed space for storage, which is attached to a thin rectangular section containing the automobile's silver grille. Two headlights are found on the front of the truck. On the left of the vehicle is the grey outline of a figure holding a rectangular brown box. Just under the truck on the bottom right is the artist's signature. In the lower right of the drawing is a graphite inscription which states [ONE PIECE FIBERGLASS BODY] in capital letters.

A small-scale robot that one can ride, fabricated in dark gray aluminum and possesses an original configuration with three wheels, two in front and one in back. The body consists of two handlebars in black attached to a part that appears to be a small cylindrical head with an area where eyes would be in the shape of a strip appearing magnetic or digital. The long curved neck has a seat and is elegantly attached to the body beneath it and resembles a kangaroo; smaller head and larger lower body. There is one head light in the belly of the body and most of the weight is in the lower body, where the tires are attached. The front tire has six small lights and is attached to a hub. The back, or inside view of the second tire is also attached to a hub. The smaller back tire is protected by a fender. There is a leg installed on a diagonal that stabilizes the foot pedal. The Robot is photographed against a light gray ground and we can view the front and side simultaneously.

A well-balanced vehicle in the form of a bicycle customized in the front for use with transporting a wheelchair and person, an option for mobility. A person rides the mostly steel framed vehicle with an electric motor pack attached to an outer frame surrounding the back tire. The front of the vehicle is a platform with smaller wheels than the back one, its function is to scoop up the wheelchair with or without a person to transport to another destination. The photograph is shot in daylight and the vehicle is riding on a sidewalk overgrown with greenery and trees in the background. The vehicle is facing right and the two smiling people are engaging the viewer and are wearing bluejeans and blue tops.

MOBILITY.021

A black thin elegant rectangular form with rounded corners on a light gray slanted stand made of die-cast aluminum and steel in two textures colored in matte black resting on a curved part of a white table. A person’s hand wearing a light gray ribbed sweater cuff hovers above the equipment creating a light shadow on the table and the sensory interface and a shadow appears behind the equipment onto the table. The camera’s eye photographs the interface on the same level as the interface and it is turned away from the camera so you are able to capture the front, right side and bottom view called an isometric view.
