Robot for Autistic Behavioural Intervention (RABI)

We launched the RABI programme through a collaboration with the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK). This programme utilises robots to provide children with autism with a sense of security. These robots are used to facilitate their learning by creating a peaceful environment that encourages interactions with others. From our collaboration, we hoped to use technology to transform the lives of others. However, the robot of CUHK was too bulky and costly for underprivileged families. Therefore, we developed a new robot, "Bob", to make the programme more accessible and spread the benefits of STEAM to a broader audience.
Impact
In January 2024, Bob was formally introduced to the public. It broke the Guinness World Record for the Smallest Humanoid Robot, showcasing our world-class technical expertise. This feat was covered by 200+ media outlets from over 50 countries, such as Forbes and Unwire HK. Through an interview with Unwire HK, we introduced "Bob" to Hong Kong while advocating for technological advancement and spreading our mission to make STEAM education accessible.
