Patients with Alzheimer’s disease and elderly individuals gradually lose and forget their past happy memories, leading to feelings of loneliness and isolation. That’s why our team aims to design an interactive device called “AIm for Memory” that utilizes Artificial Intelligence to help them retrieve their past memories more naturally, fostering connections with their family and friends. “AIm for Memory” is a portable interactive system equipped with a camera, AI system for object and hand posture detection, and a mini projector mounted on a mechanical arm. The device displays relevant information on the desk. Patients or elderly individuals place personal belongings, such as an old watch, under the camera, The AI system detects the object and recalls the associated video/photo of his/her son (the watch was a gift from him). The projection occurs directly onto the desk, eliminating the need for the patients or elderly to interact with a tablet or smartphone. This approach ensures a more natural human-machine interface as it removes the requirement for pressing buttons or speaking words, which can be challenging for them. By utilizing AI to establish a connection between objects and memories, we aim to leverage technology to overcome technological barriers and facilitate meaningful human connections.

The objective of the bin is to encourage people to recycle paper products. It seeks to address the following question. Almost everyone will not classify their garbage. Although there are existing smart recycling bins in society that will be launched in 2021 by the government, recycling technology can add AI technology to increase recycling efficiency, The function of the recycling bin would be to distribute different types of paper products, classify the paper whether it can be recycled or not, if the paper is not be allowed to recycle, like staples, paper clip and the aluminum paper and plastic on the paper package drinks. After the user puts the paper into the recycling bin and the recycling bin stores the paper, the user can get a reward according to the paper weight. The recycling bin would like to have a scanner and reader for the reward function, and the camera would like to detect the types of paper by image recognition.
