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.
