Burhanpurkar’s winning start-up, Adventus Robotics, operates at the cutting edge of artifical intelligence-based, self-driving technology for wheelchairs. “I had worked on the wheelchair at University of Toronto and continued it here,” she said. “I do have experience with relatives in wheelchairs and see how difficult it can be to move in them, particularly when there are nerve issues.”
