Anika developed RoboSense, an empathetic and innovative robotic aid inspired by her grandfather's challenges following eye surgery. This assistive tool, designed for individuals with visual impairments, uses a Micro:bit and an ultrasonic sensor to detect obstacles and provide audible warnings based on proximity, including an alarm for close dangers. RoboSense also alerts users about uneven surfaces and can display emergency contact information, ensuring enhanced safety and usability. Through this project, Anika demonstrated how technology can address real-world needs, emphasizing empathy and independence for those facing daily mobility challenges.
My project, RoboSense, was inspired by my grandfather, who recently underwent eye surgery. Watching his struggle and worrying about his ability to navigate safely gave me the idea to create a robotic aid to assist people with limited or no vision. RoboSense is designed to be a reliable and intelligent guide for individuals who face daily challenges due to visual impairments.
The RoboSense stick uses a Micro:bit and an ultrasonic distance sensor to detect objects at various distances. It can alert the user about nearby obstacles with audible signals, providing a gentle warning when objects are moderately close and sounding an alarm if they come too near. The device can also notify the user of uneven surfaces, such as bumps in the road, ensuring safer navigation. Additionally, RoboSense can display essential contact information for emergencies, making it a practical and lifesaving tool.
Building this project taught me the importance of empathy-driven innovation and how technology can help solve real-world problems. I hope RoboSense can make a difference for those who rely on assistive tools to live more independently.
