1. Design a Blind Stick285 million people are visually impaired worldwide according to WHO statistics. A huge chunk of this people lives in the developing world. Scientists and engineers all over the world are going beyond the boundaries of their disciplines to innovate and come up with solutions for addressing the needs of the visually impaired people. The challenge is to design a path navigating stick to guide the visually impaired patients.

Biomedical engineering students at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, Terre Haute, Ind., designed a robotic arm prosthetic arm for a young boy with a condition known as bilateral radial and ulnar hypoplasia, leaving him with no forearms and only two tiny fingers on each hand, according to an article on the Rose-Hulman Website.
The device was specially designed for him by senior biomedical engineering students Sara Telezyn, EJ Oruche and Clay Britton, according to the article.
The students’ project, supervised by professors Kay C Dee, Glen Livesay and Renee Rogge. The prosthetic limb works with the Michael Amerman’s fully functional fingers. The resulting device extends his reach, and allows him greater independence, while being fun and simple to operate, according to the article.
