We proudly announce that a group of students from the Computational Intelligence and Robotics (CIR) Research Lab won the 1st Runners-Up at the Sri Lanka Inter-University 3D Printing Make-A-Thon for Assistive Technology competition held at the University of Kelaniya! This prestigious competition, organized by the University of Kelaniya, occurred from February 22–24, 2025. The event challenged university students to design innovative 3D-printed assistive devices that address real-world challenges faced by individuals with disabilities.
Competing against 13 teams from over 10 state and non-state universities, our CIR team impressed the judges with their AutoCAD, 3D design, and 3D printing expertise. Their solution a 3D-printed assistive device designed to enhance comfort and accessibility for individuals with mobility challenges was developed in close collaboration with need-knowers, ensuring real-world impact and effectiveness.
