STEM Robotic Competition 2022 Winners

First Place: First Aid Robot

The winner was the ‘First aid robot’ – a robotic machine that can provide around-the-clock health care to the public and is powered by a smart monitor and solar energy. This robot dispenses first aid kits on demand so that those in need can receive immediate medical attention. In addition, it is able to make public announcements to raise awareness in communities on healthcare issues.

Second Place: Smart Dashcam

‘iDash” is a portable dashcam that mounts to motorcycle helmets and in the event of an accident, can immediately send an alert via a mobile app to the rider’s emergency contacts. The video recording function is able to provide evidence for follow-ups and investigations.

Third Place: Smart Parking Lot

A proposed solution leveraging the Internet of Things (IoT) to detect available parking spaces for drivers while simultaneously charging their vehicles for greener and smarter energy usage.
