Final Project
V.I.D.A.X/ Vision-based Intelligent Dosing Assistant for visually impaired users.
V.I.D.A.X (Vision-based Intelligent Dosing Assistant eXperimental) is an intelligent pill dispensing system designed to support visually impaired users in taking their medication safely and independently.
The system uses a camera and artificial intelligence to recognize the correct pill or read a medical prescription. Through voice feedback (speaker/buzzer), the user is informed about the medication being dispensed. Once confirmed, stepper motors activate the corresponding pill container and release the required dose automatically.
V.I.D.A.X integrates computer vision, embedded electronics, digital fabrication, and human-centered design, making it an ideal project for Fab Academy. The program provides the tools, knowledge, and fabrication processes (3D printing, electronics design, programming, and system integration) needed to transform this concept into a functional prototype.
This project demonstrates how digital fabrication and artificial intelligence can be combined to create accessible, innovative, and socially impactful technology.
Gantt Chart Summary:
This Gantt chart outlines the development plan for V.I.D.A.X from January to early July. It organizes the project into sequential phases including research, AI development, prototyping, system integration, digital fabrication, and final testing.
As the weeks progress, each task will be updated to reflect its current status using a color-coded system:
Green: Completed Yellow/Amber: Pending Red: Not Started
This visual system allows clear tracking of progress and ensures that all stages are completed on time, leading to a functional and accessible prototype for Fab Academy.
