The project constructed a storage device prototype which allows users to take items from the cabinet at fixed locations. With the use of switches and buttons, the user can rotate the carousel to different cabinets to designated position based on their preferences. When the cabinet reaches the location, the user then can simply drag the cabinet out of the carousel to access the items inside. This greatly eases the problems faced by handicapped and elderly nowadays. A prototype has been produced and will be shown.

SmartSocks are lightweight, low-energy wearable socks designed to ease gait issues like pronation and supination, affecting 35% of the elderly. Using soft robotics and smart sensors, they provide gentle, targeted leg muscle relief tailored to each user’s walking pattern. Unlike bulky massage devices or high-voltage wearables, SmartSocks are practical for daily use—no heavy hardware, no frequent charging. An AI-powered app personalises massage settings based on foot shape and movement data. Offered at a competitive price, SmartSocks help elderly users walk more comfortably, reduce chronic pain risks, and improve mobility in a convenient, user-friendly way.
